Admission Essay

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), was a famous Spanish painter living in France who came to be recognized as one of the most influential artist of the twentieth century. Among his major achievements include the initiation of cubism which came to be referred as the modern art movement. He also developed an art technique called collage, which involved attaching papers and strings on a painting, and introduced assemblage which involved the utilization of several artistic materials in sculpture.

In his search about the truth held by art, Irving Penn embraced on a long journey that was aimed at building a strong profession in photography. This even involved taking photographs of still objects which he consequently created a well formulated manner in their arrangement to yield their conceptual meaning. Penn can be remembered of his philosophy that photographing a cake can be an art. Basically, he owes a lot in the general world view of fashion photography and portraiture.

Dorothea Lange on the other hand engulfed a philosophy founded on a visual life. Her long enthusiastic profile in the way of photography led her to a high spirit of impression and a place to rest in the artistic profession. She exercised a conceptual desire of real world photography but taking photographs on almost all general real life situations.

My interest in photography has long been influenced by the urge of capturing the inequality that mankind has experienced due to capitalism as reflected to the hard work of Pablo Picasso. Just like how Pablo has entailed the use of deep value of creativity in the development of his art, I am in the same view brought into a wonderful plane of having my career path follow his footsteps.
