9. Distortion

Pablo Picasso, Tete de cheval ("Head of horse")

Distortion occurs when an artist takes an object and reproduces it in different proportions, shapes, sizes, colors, ect. than it is in reality. Picasso is a perfect example of an artist very focused on distortion in his paintings. This oil painting shows a horse in shades of gray, black and blue and his head and body are not in proportion of a real horse.
