Pablo Picasso

 

 

 

Pablo Picasso was born on October 25th, 1881 in Málaga, Spain. He is commonly known today just as Picasso. He was a Spanish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor. He was among one of the "most recognized" people in the 20-th century art. Some of his most famous works of art are:

  • Les Demoiselles d'Avignon- 1907

  • Guernica- 1937

  • The Old Guitarist- 1903

  • La Toilette- 1906

  • Night Fishing 2

Growing up in a middle-class family home Picassos'  father was also a painter. For most of Picassos' life his father was a professor of art at the School of Crafts and a curator of a local museum. Picasso had a passion and a skill in art at the age of 7.  His father sent him to a Royal Art Academy which was their countries most finest art school around the age 15. In 1897 Picasso set off on his own. He made his first trip to Paris in 1900. There he found a friend who taught him language and literature, then they moved in together. Though he would work on his work all day long some of it would have to be burned to keep the room warm. By 1905 Picasso became a favorite of the American art collectors.
