PABLO PICASSO.

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.

• My first drawings were of bulls and doves.

• I did them when I was just 9 years old.

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.

I painted:

•THE GUERNICA.

I painted all in BLACK AND WHITE. No colours to show the suffering of the WAR.

What can you see?

A bull watching the dissaster. A man burning!.

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.
