  1. Picasso

  2. Picasso(1881-1973), was born in Malaga,Spain,a pleasant,quiet town.He was Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, draughtsman, designer, and ceramicist, who spent most of his career in France. He was the most famous and prolific artist of the 20th century and exercised enormous influence on his contemporaries.

  3. Picasso was born to be a painter.He won a prize—"Science and Charity"for his first important painting when he was only fifteen.He seemed to want to tell the world but science and religion can save human misery and despair by the works.

  4. Picasso's early work is basically divided into four periods: the blue period(1900-1904) the pink period(1904-1906) the black period(1907-1909) Cubist Painting (1907-1925)

  5. The Blue Period In 1900 Picasso made his first visit to Paris, the goal of every ambitious artist, and for the next four years he divided his time between there and Barcelona. He found the bohemian street-life of Paris fascinating, and his pictures of people in dance halls and cafés show how he assimilated the Post-Impressionism of Paul Gauguin and of the Symbolist painters called the Nabis. The themes he found in the work of Edgar Degas and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, as well as the style of the latter, exerted the strongest influence.

  6. The Rose Period In 1904 Picasso settled in Paris, living in a shabby building known as the Bateau-Lavoir (“laundry barge”, which it resembled). The next year or so of his life is known as his Rose Period, when blue was replaced by pink as the predominant colour in his work. His subjects became more cheerful and included many scenes of the circus, which he frequently visited, and circus performers—bohemians outside respectable society—with whom he identified.

  7. The Black Period Pablo Picasso's black period, also known as époque négre or negro period, refers to the years 1906 and 1907, in which Picasso falls under the influence of African art, on which he bases a series of drawings, paintings and woodcarvings that would lead to the creation of his seminal work Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.

  8. Cubist Painting In the summer of 1906, Picasso's work entered a new phase, marked by the influence of Greek, Iberian, and African art. The key work of this early period is Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907, Museum of Modern Art, New York); the title comes from the name of a street in the red-light district of Barcelona and the painting depicts five prostitutes, their figures aggressively distorted and the faces of two of them recalling the African masks that Picasso admired and collected at this time. So radical in style was this picture—its surface resembling fractured glass—that it was not understood even by contemporary avant-garde painters and critics. Spatial depth is absent and the ideal form of the female nude is restructured into facets—the essential features that distinguish Cubism.
