Window opened to the street Penthieure 1920

Picasso's "Window Opened to the Street, Penthieure," is a deep dive into how to use oil on canvas to rethink space and form. The earthy colors and angular shapes are not just about what’s seen, but how we see. Picasso’s artmaking is a process of breaking down and rebuilding, much like how we try to make sense of the world around us. Look closely at the painting's surface. You can see the texture of the canvas and the way the paint is layered to create depth and shadow. The way Picasso juxtaposes these different textures and colors, thick and thin, transparent and opaque, it's like he's playing with our senses, pushing and pulling us into the scene. I like how the street feels so close and so far away at the same time. It’s like he’s inviting us to see the world from multiple perspectives all at once. Picasso’s radical way of reimagining visual space paved the way for later artists like David Hockney, who continued to push the boundaries of perspective and representation in their own ways. Art is an ongoing conversation, a never-ending exploration of how we see and experience the world.
