As an adult, he chose to use his talent to invent new abstract styles.Picasso’s painting style changed many times during his life. As a young boy he drew so well he was given awards before he was 10 years old. As he got older he moved away from realism. He once said, ”When I was a child I painted like a photograph. It took me a lifetime to learn to paint like a child.” When Picasso went to Paris as a young man he experimented with Impressionism.
Analysis In the painting Bouquet of Peace someone is holding or giving the flowers away. They are saying let's be friends or even offering them to a person as a sign of peace or love. The top hand seems to be pushing them away to the other hand. There are four flowers with stems leaves and grass. The flowers look happy and peaceful because the bright colors are like sunshine. The flowers are like daisies with a solid center and petals sticking out.
Theme: The bouquet forms a bond between two individuals symbolized by the two hands
displayed within the piece
