Picasso
Picasso was one of the greatest
artists of his time.
He was born in 1881 and died in
1973.

Picasso’s image as an artist is one of infinite diversity including sculpture, ceramics, paintings and stage design.
Some of my favorite periods of his work include The Blue Period, The Triumphant Years, The Rose Period and abstract work.
Picasso’s creations are not merely part of the sum total of 20th-century art, but rather are seen as its icons. “Guernica”, for instance is unquestionably the most famous modern painting, worldwide, matched as an art classic only by works such as Leonardo’s “Mona Lisa” or Rembrandt’s “Night Watch”.

Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain, to artist and teacher Jose Ruiz Blasco, and his wife Maria Picasso.
A decade later, young Pablo Picasso learned how to paint from his father, who had been appointed teacher at the Da Guarda art school in La Coruna.

Picasso's artistic production is
usually described in
terms of a series of overlapping periods. In his “blue period” (1901–4) he depicted the world of the
poor.

When I was fourteen I even painted a few of his works on my
garage walls, which are about
4 feet tall, including “Poor People on the
Seashore” also know as “The
Tragedy,”
And “La Soup”

As one of the founders of modern abstract art, Pablo
Picasso is generally associated with cubism and
related styles which are predominantly abstract. It is therefore essential to realize that at the time of Picasso's
blue period, abstract art as we know it today didn't yet exist.
As a twenty year old man Pablo Picasso was an
accomplished classicist painter, but like many young
artists of his time, he was dissatisfied with the
principles of traditional art.

I also have drawn “The Old Man and the Guitar”

In 1907 Picasso painted Les Demoiselles
d'Avignon (Mus. of Modern Art, New
York City), a radical departure from the artistic ideas of the preceding ages and now considered the
most significant work in the
development toward cubism and
modern abstraction.

In his later years Picasso turned to
creations of fantasy and
comic invention. He worked
consistently in sculpture,
ceramics, and in the graphic arts,
producing thousands of
superb drawings, illustrations, and stage designs.
Picasso
By the time he died, he had created over
22,000 works of art in a variety of
mediums.
