After traveling to Madrid I feel very grateful to say that I have seen some of the most famous paintings in the world. These include work from the Spanish artist himself Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and even work from one of my most favourite artists, Kandinsky. These are all abstract and serial artists hence my strong interests in their work. The colours and shapes they all use inspire me to be much more imaginative with my work and experiment more with different materials and shapes.
The first photograph shown is one of Pablo Picasso's most famous paintings the "Guernica". It was painted in 1937 with oil paint. I love this particular painting from his work as it is very busy and detailed, I feel it is one of those paintings that you when you see it every time you see something new. and different that you didn't notice before. The painting is about a flee of animals and people running from an explosion. The way he painted this painting I find overexciting as he used a lot of cubism in the painting to create an abstract and confusing look to it. I believe that if he used a more variety of colour it would look even better however, Picasso did a lot of colour work so this painting it quite different to his other work.
Lastly the photograph below is a picture of another one of my favourite artists. This painting was created by Kandinsky, it was painted in 1925. "In The Bright Oval" is the name of this painting, I sense it to be quite simple and ironic as I feel it states the obvious and adds slight humour to it. Kandinsky has always used bright colours but this piece really does inspire me to continue my colour work. Same with the shapes and styles he uses, the harsh lines and block colours shown depth and boldness with in the painting. I also like the randomness of it even though to the ye it looks unorganised but somehow has a story behind it like every other painting.

The second image shown is a painting by Salvador Dali. This painter is a very serial artist and creates very strange pieces of artwork. This one in particular stood out to me as the colours invited me over to look at it. It is called "The Great Masturbator", its oil on canvas and was painting in 1929. Linking with the image above they both have the effect of when looking at it several times you see something that you didn't notice the first time. For example I noticed the first time the coloured eyelashes and the woman admiring the male sex organ, then when I looked again I saw what I thought was a piece of corn at the bottom of the painting, then lastly when I look again I saw what it really was and I saw the dragonfly at last. The affect of this painting excites me and makes me want to continue looking at his work and seeing what I can see next.
