A critical analysis and comparison
between Mmesoma's abstract painting titled 'Happy Family' and Pablo Picasso's
painting 'Three Musician' Pablo Picasso's painting,Three Musicians is a large
painting measuring more than 2 meters wide and high. It is painted in the style
of Synthetic Cubism and gives the appearance of cut paper.Picasso paints three
musicians made of flat, brightly colored, abstract shapes in a shallow, boxlike
room.
Three Musicians is an example of Picasso's Cubist style. In Cubism, the subject of the artwork is transformed into a sequence of planes, lines, and arcs. Cubism has been described as an intellectual style because the artists analyzed the shapes of their subjects and reinvented them on the canvas. Mmesoma’s painting titled ‘happy family’ is a an abstract style painting which is compose of four figure,. These figures are represented m silhouette form. While the two figures which is perceived to be father and mother are holding the box guitar at the center of the painting, the other two figures beneath seen as the children are playing an African traditional drum. This seems to be a celebration time in the family. However, could one say that the 10 years old female artist representation of the happy family was influenced by Picasso’s three musicians, definitely no. the two works are similar in style and colour rendition but differ in the formation of shape composition in the painting. It should be noted that one of Picasso's earliest painting 'Demoiselles d'Avignon' was influenced by African scupltures (Masks) he came in contact in 1907. Inspiration is not racial; it is simply a universal Spirit.
