350 word description for HUP 107


After browsing through many different paintings and sculptures, I was beginning to think I wasn’t going to find anything of interest to me. You know how there are people who settle for less and will just pick anything to get the job done, well I didn’t want to be one of them. I really didn’t want to settle for just anything. I wanted to find something that sparked my eye, caught my attention instantly, and find something that means something to me; whatever that is.
Several paintings and moments later I came across Pablo Picasso’s “A Seated Bather”
OBJECTIVE: Paris, early 1930. Oil on canvas, 64 1/4 x 51" (163.2 x 129.5 cm).
I thought finally, I found something and instantly it caught my attention. At the moment I didn’t know why it did but thinking about it on my train ride home, I knew that it was the one I wanted to do my paper on.

SUBJECTIVE: This piece of art work with the blues and nude colors made me feel calm. Staring at it, it was very peaceful. Without looking at the title it was something I enjoyed just from observance and not having any knowledge about it what so ever. It filled me up with joy and lifted my spirits up.

In this piece by Picasso I see a naked woman somewhere by a pool or a beach in a private place. It reminds me of summertime. One who is proud to be in her own skin, one who is comfortable, one that shows confidence and ideally speaking what a woman should be looking like?

This is how I want to feel, when I’m on the beach in my swimwear. Right now I don’t feel this way. The psychologist in me realized no wonder why you picked this; I am dealing with major body issues. Not being where I want to be and not being comfortable this is something I look up to. This piece of art work is how I want to be, definitely not for this year but by next year summer.

I could hang this picture up my wall and look at it as being my motivation.
