The "Primitive" Problems of Picasso
You know I love a good alliteration, Honeys, and this episode's title not only scratches that itch but tells you everything.In today's discussion of art history, we zoom in on the late 19th and early 20th centuries to talk about Primitivism and its baby brother, Cubism. We'll take a look at how "primitive" evolved as a term, shifting with its times to reference other cultures and places in the world instead of Europeans' own past cultures. We'll look at how it inspired several other movements and many of the trends of modernism, but most importantly, we'll reveal the artists behind some of Primitivism's most enduring and most recognizable tropes to take you on a comprehensive journey through the worlds of pure imagination created by Henri Rousseau, Pablo Picasso, and more.You'll also finally learn why I say "ew" every time I say Gauguin! Spoiler alert: he's problematic.Enjoy the buzz, Honeys.Source Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ACSGfSHyjyxACCvzDq-I3Ju5D7XpldbuL98YC8O5LKM/edit?usp=sharing
