Compare the two paintings, Picasso’s “The Three Musicians and Hopper’s “Nighthawks.”
Are there similar shapes, styles, and how are they the SAME??
list the similarities

Although the styles are quite different, there are a couple similarities in shape and overall composition. For starters, they both use a similar pallet of muted tones, both containing mostly shades of brown and red. Although Picasso's piece here is abstract and Hopper's is modernism, they both convey a similar tone of comfort and closeness. The musician piece conveys three musical artists most likely composing music together which, combined with the soft colors, makes the viewer feel a sense of peace with them as they talk. Similarly, Nighthawks also lets you "pear" into the lives of others at an almost deserted local shop. Like being in your own local store or restaurant, you feel peaceful and relaxed looking at the piece. Again, this feeling of calm is intensified by the soft colors. As for shapes, both utilize squares and rectangles, Picasso in his figure's bodies and Hopper in the buildings.

explanation:

well seeing i am an artist and i actually did a self portrait; i will describe how i painted it.   i used acrylic on a stretch canvas about 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall. i painted myself smiling in a soft pink long dress, white tile floor sitting on a white couch with a table behind and a vase of gorgeous flowers.   i also had a round white hat with a soft pink ribbon through it laying on the floor and on the table behind me was a lit candle. i kept it simple but soft and romantic.
