Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) One of the greatest
painter of the twentieth-century. Picasso was
born in 1881 in Malaga, Spain. Pablo adopted his
maternal name Picasso, instead of Ruiz (fathers
name). Picassos father was a professor of art
and had the earliest influence on his son.
Picasso made three trips to Paris 1900, 1901,
and 1902, returning each time to his family in
Spain because of a lack of money. He was finally
able to settle in Paris in 1903. For the rest of
his life Picasso was considered a French painter.
His Spanish friends in Paris said he always had a
little French in him, but Picasso said the French
made him feel more Spanish. Picassos blue
period started in Paris in 1901, but it didnt
begin to flourish until he returned to Barcelona
that same year. Majority of the blue works are
women. Transition between the blue and rose
period began in 1904. The rose paintings are
filled with harlequins and acrobats. The rose
period started to end with The Portrait of
Gertrude Stein in 1906. At this time he started
to move towards sculpture and printmaking. This
started his fascination of simplifying of objects
into geometric forms. His paintings became more
linear and sharp. Picassos influences from
Cezanne developed into Cubism. In 1907, his Les
Demoiselles d Avignon established his
avant-garde status. The beginning of World War I
put an end to Cubism in Picassos work. His
Post-war paintings began to become Surrealist, as
in The Dance (1925).
