Kenzo Fall/Winter 2010-11 ad campaign // Picasso The Women of Avignon, 1906
The first aspect of the Kenzo ad that reminded me of one of Picasso's most famous works was time it took for ones eye to adjust and comprehend what it was viewing. There is an explosion of line, color, and shallow space that Avignon has, and it tends to overwhelm the eye at first glance. The major difference between the two works is the definition of space. Avignon has a claustrophobic feel to it- and is very shallow, while Kenzo has much more depth to it and allows for the viewer to breath and feel open. Also, the contortion of the female form is resonant throughout both pictures.
