19.He is probably the greatest artist of the 20th century.As CBS said,Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)"defined modern art".In the past,artists had made paintings look like windows-they painted to make it look like there was depth.You could tell which objects were"close"to you and which objects were"far away",as if the picture were a window you were looking through.
But Picasso and his colleague Georges Braque (1882-1963)thought that a painting wasn't a window on the world; it was marks and lines on a flat surface.Why should an object be shown only from one perspective?
Their answer was to break up objects into pieces and show all the perspectives.
It was an analytical approach to art,which gave this style of painting its name:"analytic cubism(解析立体主义)".You can take a closer look at these paintings in Shanghai where nearly 100pieces of Picasso's work are on display until Jan 31,2016.
But why did they feel such a need to change things?Well,the world around them was changing.Albert Einstein's theory of relativity was proving what humans knew about time and space to be wrong.And it wasn't only science that was making waves.New political movements like socialism were on the rise.So artists needed to start seeing the world and painting it differently.
A famous and terrifying painting,Guernica (1937)is a picture of the horror caused to the town of Guernica by bombs during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).In the picture,the sky actually falls in.Picasso could not have painted it without the skills he had learned during his cubist period.They had prepared him for showing the town being destroyed.
"Instead of showing objects from one viewpoint,Picasso showed them from many different angles,"said The Huffington Post.

A.Why Picasso's paintings have a lasting appeal.
B.What inspired Picasso to become a great artist.

A.They painted like there was depth in their paintings.
B.They painted objects that they had broken into pieces.
C.They tried to make their paintings look like windows.
D.They showed the different angles of an object in their paintings.
30.Picasso and Georges Braque started analytic cubism becauseA.
A.they believed art needed to change to follow the changing world
B.they wanted to apply Einstein's theory of relativity to painting
C.Picasso wanted to make waves just like Einstein did
D.new political movements had forced art to change
