Pablo Picasso

Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, also

known as Pablo Picasso;

25 October 1881 – 8

April 1973), was a

Spanish painter,

sculptor, printmaker, cera

micist, stage designer,

poet and playwright who

spent most of his adult

life in France. As one of

the greatest and most

influential artists of the

20th century, he is

known for co-founding

the Cubist movement,

the invention

of constructed

sculpture, the co-

invention of collage, and

for the wide variety of

styles that he helped

develop and explore.

Among his most famous

works are the proto-

Cubist Les Demoiselles

d'Avignn (1907),

and Guernica (1937), a

portrayal of the Bombing

of Guernica by the

German and Italian air

forces at the behest of

the Spanish nationalist

government during

the Spanish Civil War.

Bio

Probably Picasso's most

famous

work, Guernica is

certainly the his most

powerful political

statement, painted as an

immediate reaction to

the Nazi's devastating

casual bombing practice

on the Basque town of

Guernica during Spanish

Civil War.

Guernica

The Old

Guitarist was

painted in 1903,

just after the

suicide death of

Picasso's close

friend,

Casagemas.

The Old Guitarist

This paintings was

painted in 1907. It was

called the most

innovative painting since

the work of Giotto,

whenLes Demoiselles

d'Avignon first appeared

it was as if the art world

had collapsed. Known

form and respresnetation

were completely abandon.

The reductionism and

contortion of space in the

painiting was incredible,

and dislocation of faces

explosive. Like any

revolution, the shock

waves reverbetrated and

the inevitable outcome

was Cubism.

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon

Girl Before

Mirror was

painted in March

1932. It was

produced in the

style Picasso was

using at the time

and evoked an

image of Vanity

such as had been

utilized in art in

earlier eras

Girl Before Mirror 

An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought. ”-Pablo Picasso

Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs. ”-Pablo Picasso

He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable, indisputable law. ”-Pablo Picasso

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them. ”-Pablo Picasso

Famous Quotes by Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso was a very inspiring artist. Rather then using words, he used his art to speak. Pablo gave a new meaning to the art world. My favorite painting that Picasso made is “The Old Guitarist”. I chose Picasso because I've heard of him and the masterpieces he's created are astonishing!
