Pablo Picasso

• He discovered that if he disregarded conventional
  means used for illusion of reality, such as
  one-point perspective and the erosion of form by
  color and light, he could represent things more
  realistically. This style is put to the test in
  Les Demoiselles d Avignon

The Rose Period

• After he moved to Paris he met Fernande Oliver
  who influenced the mood of his work from dark and
  gloomy blues to light and happy reds and pinks
  which led this period in time to be called the
  Rose Period.  At this time he painted many
  pictures of a circus that he visited often during
  his stay in Paris.

Protocubism

• In 1906, Picasso moved to Gosol, Spain where he
  changed his style.  His new works where
  influenced by Greek, Iberian, and African art. 
  He began to use more geometrical figures in his
  artwork  During this time he also made a picture
  that resembled fractured glass that was, at the
  time, a very radical idea.

Synthetic Cubism

• In 1912, Picasso began to paste paper and
  pieces of oilcloth to his paintings and then
  paint either on them or around them.  These where
  his first collages.  This technique is called
  synthetic cubism.  This is a more decorative,
  colorful style of art.  He has done some
  synthetic cubism, but not particularly a lot.

Realist and Surrealist

• Pablo Picasso has said that he was not a
  surrealist, but many of his pictures have a
  surrealist feel to them.  During this time (World
  War I) he went to Rome and met and married Olga
  Koklova.  He painted many realistic pictures of
  her.  Later in the 1920's he painted neoclassical
  pictures of women and pictures inspired by Greek
  mythology.

Guernica

• Guernica was a work that was done to express his
  outrage of the German bombing of the Basque town
  of Guernica on April 26, 1937 during the Spanish
  Civil War.  The painting is not a portrayal of
  the actual bombing, but a symbol of the act
  itself.
