PABLO PICASSO.
My name is Pablo Picasso.
I was born in the Spanish town of Málaga in 1881.
Ever since I was a boy, I liked to paint.
My father was a painter and Art Teacher.
PABLO PICASSO.
• My first drawings were of bulls and doves.
• I did them when I was just 9 years old.
A child with a dove.
PABLO PICASSO.
• I studied arts at La Coruña, Barcelona and Madrid.
• But academic studies never excited me...• My dream was to visit Paris.
PARIS IN BLUE AND PINK.• I arrived in Paris in 1900.• There I set about
discovering the artistic movements of the period.
• There was so much to learn!!!!
• Suddenly, my best friend Carlos died.
• I was very sad and I started to paint everything in BLUE.
PARIS IN BLUE AND PINK.
• Soon afterwards I fell in LOVE.
• I began to paint everything using PINK. • At that time I spent a lot of time at the circus. So,
I painted harlequins, jugglers and clowns.
A NEW WAY OF SEEING.
• Why paint things to look so real?• Could be there another way to
represent objects and figures?• Then he experimented with new
materials, made collages, sculptures, ceramics,...
• And he found a new language:
CUBISM.
WAR AND ART.• In 1935 the Spanish Civil War started.
• A new change took place in my life.
• I was shocked by a sad news:
• The Basque city of GUERNICA was cruelly bombed and destroyed in April of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War.
• I painted a mural as big as a wall, in one month.
I painted:
•THE GUERNICA.
I painted all in BLACK AND WHITE. No colours to show the suffering of the WAR.
With this electric light Picasso said that this is not a natural dissaster, this is a MAN MADE DISSASTER.
THIS IS A WAR.
What can you see?
A woman crying with her dead baby.
A bull watching the dissaster. A man burning!.
A soldier dead in pieces on the ground.
GOODBYE!• I lived an apassionate life.
• I never came back to Spain.
• I died in Mougins, France, on the 8th of April of 1973.
• I was 92 years old.
This is my portrait.
