In the painting there are cupids and doves which are attributes of Venus as the goddess of Love. The flowers allude to her role as patroness of gardens and the pearls reflect her mysterious birth from the sea. Francois made the painting during the Rococo Style period. Rococo Style was popular in Western Europe from 1700-1780. The term comes from French, which stands for fanciful rock or shell design, and it exhibits an elegant feeling and style. As a painter of nudes, Boucher had no equal in his generation. "

Abstract
This paper explains that Pablo Picasso helped develop both analytic cubism, which involved using brown colors and analyzing individual things based on their shapes, and synthetic cubism, which involved making a collage and the use of color. The author points out that, through symbols as clues, Picasso was able to leave the interpretation of the art to the viewer. The paper concludes that Picasso's unique style changed the world of art forever because incorporating different aspects of an object into the painting all at once was considered very revolutionary at the time and went against what had always been done.
From the Paper
"In 1901, Picasso began signing his painting with simply "Picasso," which is the name that he is still known as to this day. This is when his "Blue Period" started, as he used sombre blue colors, since he lost a close friend around this time period due to a suicide. In 1904, Picasso moved to Paris for good and bought a studio there. This also marked the beginning of his "Rose Period," where he used more cheerful colors like red and orange. Many people think his happiness was brought about as a result of his relationship with Fernande Olivier, as well as his interaction with a different style of art in France. In 1906, Picasso made his first major sale to art dealer Ambroise Vollard for 2000 francs. Around this time, Picasso began to experiment with the style that would make him famous: Cubism. "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" is credited with being the first cubist painting on record. Picasso painted that in 1907 at the age of 26."

Abstract
This paper examines the growth of Pablo Picasso?s art as a result of his romance relationship with Fernande Olivier. It illustrates Picasso?s inspiration from Fernande to experiment with style, which brought him out of his blue period into his rose period and eventually into cubism. The paper claims that Fernande is responsible for influencing Picasso?s mode of living and his way of painting.
From the Paper
"Pablo Picasso was one of the key artists involved in the development of Cubism. During that same time period, he was involved with a young woman named Fernande Olivier, who also served as his model for several works, both paintings and sculpture. Their meeting can be considered fortuitous, for in some degree, the meeting helped change direction for Picasso in his work, though there were many other influences on the artist as well pushing him and associated artists in the direction of Cubism. Picasso?s early years after settling in Paris permanently were marked by the influence of Fernande Olivier, his first mistress. Prior to Picasso living with this woman, his nude works were fewer and not as freely expressed. It seems that his exposure to a relationship such as this allowed Picasso to express his responsiveness to beauty. After meeting his first true love, Fernande, Picasso showed a significant change in the tone of his works. While she provided the impetus for much change, Fernande was never directly involved in Picasso's works except as occasional model and was seen by many of his friends as an obstacle to greater work on his part."

Abstract
This paper discusses the work of Pablo Picasso and how it reflected the intellectual tenor of the times. The paper notes that Picasso was reacting to many of the artistic social and scientific developments of his time embodying these elements in his work, which was often misunderstood by many because it was so radically different from the more representational work of the nineteenth century and before.
From the Paper
"The work of artist Pablo Picasso represents the major artistic developments of the Twentieth Century, with the artist leading in altering the way art was perceived and the way the artist responded to his or her subject matter for most of the century. Picasso was reacting to many of the artistic, social, and scientific developments of his time, embodying these elements in his work, work which was often misunderstood by many because it was so radically different from the more representational work of the Nineteenth Century and before. Picasso was not an artist with a single approach to his subject and passed through a number of major periods identified on the basis of shifts in style and content, as can be seen in any number of his works. Picasso began painting in 1891 at Corunna and then moved to Barcelona until 1904."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Neruda compares himself, and all of us really, to the image of a root. He lives in the dark and feeds on what is all around him, going down further into the darkness of ignorance while life above is out of control. He feels blind and he wants to see and recognize the mess that has been made of the world).This poem shows that Neruda was starting to consider his poetry as a means to influence and a way to expose people to issues that we all face together and that he was moving away (at least temporarily) from topics that were more comfortable to write about (love, women, beauty etc.)."

It is also seen a period of soul-searching and a change in style, which is characterized by portraits and paintings of archetypal female images. Read states that these archetypes and the style of this time were preceded by paintings such as Woman in an Arm-chair (1929) and the Standing Bather and Seated Bather of 1929.
