ONE OF EUROPE'S FINEST ARTISTS FROM THE 20TH CENTURY - A TALENTED ARTIST, HIGHLY
INFLUENTIAL IN MANY CONTEMPORARY ART MOVEMENTS SUCH AS ABSTRACT ART AND CUBISM

Pablo Picasso

Picasso is also amongst the most studied artist with his paintings categorised
into several key periods of his career, such as the Blue Period, the Rose
Period, and times of Cubism, Surrealism and also African-inspired spells. There
is an exciting Picasso Tate Exhibition running right now! Pablo Picasso was born
in Malaga, Spain in 1881. He attended the Barcelona School of Fine arts in 1895
after his family had moved to the city, and went on to study, aged just 16, at
the Madrid Academy in 1897. Picasso settled in Paris during 1901 and remained
there until 1946, when he moved to the South of France where he lived until his
death in 1973. Picasso had a tremendous influence on art in the 20th century,
and as he evolved, changed and progressed as an artist, he went through many
different periods of style.

Picasso’s first distinct style is known as his Blue Period, which dates 1900 to
1904, during which time he painted using a limited palette of blues and greys.
His subjects were sombre and often detached, and he captured images of beggars,
prostitutes, the frail, blind and poor. Picasso had experienced the dramatic
death of his younger sister, the suicide of his good friend Carlos Casagemas,
and was living in poverty, all of which made him utterly depressed which shows
clearly in his work. He was also influenced by Henri Matisse, who was exhibiting
at that time. The Old Guitarist, painted in 1903, shows Picasso’s understanding
and sympathies of those downtrodden by their circumstances. An early painting by
Picasso, Blue Nude 1902, is a simple painting but it expresses despair and great
sadness in the angle of the figure and the choice of colour.

Picasso’s Rose Period, from 1904 to 1906, is signified by more cheerful
paintings capturing circus performers, clowns and actors in pinks, reds and
orange tones. The artist achieved some fame in these years, and met a lover,
Fernande Olivier, which took him out of his depression and his penniless
existence. The Boy With a Pipe was created during this period, and shows an
unknown young man with a garland of flowers in his hair. Although the boy has a
hard glare, the overall feeling of the composition is comfortable and peaceful.



From 1907 to 1909, Picasso entered his African Period, also known as his Negro
Period, where the human form is painted flatter and more vibrantly coloured than
previously. Influences came from African sculptures, and from Paul Gauguin and
Paul Cezanne. A very famous masterpiece, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, was painted
during this period; it is of five nude women with splintered faces reminiscent
of African masks. Early signs of Cubism can be seen in the work, as features
become simplified and angular. When Picasso revealed this work to the art world,
it created shock waves. All previous thoughts on form, perspective and
representation where forgotten, new boundaries were set, and the painting became
known as the most innovative work of the modern world.

The flattening of form is taken further in Picasso’s Cubism Period, 1909 to
1912. Cubism reduces form to basic geometric shapes, and is attributed to both
Picasso and Georges Braque. Colours are strong and flat, and abstract is used
with only a few hints of recognisable imagery hinting at the real world. Woman
with Mandolin, 1910, is quite a difficult painting to decipher, but this is
Cubism at its most extreme. Picasso also introduced collage into his work, and
objects such as newspapers and food wrapping can be seen stuck onto canvases in
places. During 1917 Picasso visited Italy and he became inspired by Raphael and
Ingres. One year later Picasso married and his life became a little more
ordered. His work returned to a more traditional form and is known as Picasso’s
Classicist Period. From 1928 he moved somewhat towards Surrealism as well.
Arguably his most famous painting, Guernica, was created in this period. The
powerful, anti war painting has influences of Cubism, Classicism and Surrealism
combined. There are also some collage elements present too.

In his later years, Picasso became more and more prolific. He joined the
Communist Movement and his work became more political at times. He became bolder
and more colourful, and he experimented with different media. Picasso began to
be more confident in sculpture and produced The She Goat in 1950, a life-size
bronze which was cast with everyday objects like a basket, flower pot and
leaves. He also created a 50-foot sculpture in the Cubist style in Chicago in
1967. Even though he was commissioned to make it, Picasso refused payment and
donated it the people of Chicago. He produced a large number of copper etchings
from 1968 to 1971, and Picasso also worked in gold in his octogenarian years. In
Picasso's final years he painted hundreds of pieces, meticulously dating each
one almost like a diary of his last days on earth. These are simple, sometimes
childish works that often stare death in the face. At the time much of this work
was dismissed as the desperate art of an ageing man, but as the years have
passed, they are now being recognised as Neo-expressionism pieces. It seems
Picasso’s late modernistic style was ahead of its time.

Picasso lived for 91 years and created more than 13,000 paintings, 1200
sculptures and 130,000 illustrations, engravings and prints in his lifetime. He
is known as the father of modern art, and his eccentric lifestyle, free spirit
and boldness will live on in the art world forever. Mediterranean Landscape is a
stylish Cubist landscape painting by Picasso which combined traditional topics
of study with a very contemporary style of painting. Mediterranean Landscape
hosts some very bright colours and interesting detail making it a very popular
choice for both academics and also those looking to buy Picasso reproductions
for their own home.

Picasso was a naturally talented artist and innovative thinker who achieved
success with many different art mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture,
printmaking and ceramics to name just the most common in which he was involved.
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is a colourful Cubist depiction of five women by
Picasso during a prolific period in his career. It ranks alongside Mediterranean
Landscape amongst his best respected Cubist works and matches the former's
exciting colour balances too. You may notice the bowl of fruit at the bottom of
the painting which is a very popular topic amongst many artist's works from all
different art movements. Guernica was Picasso's most famous political painting
and placed him firmly in the anti-war camp during a turbulent time in Spanish
history. Picasso used this painting to try to underline the horrors of war with
graphic depictions styled within his cubist style.

The print covers the devastation of an area left in pieces from a prolongued
attack, with the artist trying to include detail of each and every object ruined
by it. Three Musicians is a charming Picasso work that centres on carefully
chosen colours which make this one of his brightest paintings from the whole of
his career. It features three musicians stood side-by-side in a cubist style of
which Picasso is very famous for, even though his career actually included many
other styles as he progressed through his life and took on more experiences and
influences. The Blue Nude wall poster shown here is a worthy inclusion within
this homepage's selection of the ten best Picasso paintings because it's style
is somewhat different to any others included here, and is also an interesting
work in it's own right. Nude portraits have been popular within many artist's
careers and Picasso is no different to that.

Rest features a closeup of a sleeping women with Picasso's typical abstract
style which in this case used very few brushstrokes and only a handful of
colours, but still managed to depict the subject accurately because of the
skills of the artist which were considerable right from an early age when his
father had encouraged him to paint. Dog is the best known sketch by Picasso and
as popular as Mediterranean Landscape for reproductions. It is a much simpler
alternative, which would suit a different taste and interior. It is one of
several simple sketches which are amongst Picasso's bestworks, with Owl, Le
Pingouin and Camel amongst the others. The beauty of these sketches were how the
artis could comfortably depict the animal or bird with just a few quick lines.
Each would have charm in their simplicity, which is a sign of Picasso's genius.

Owl is another example of Picasso's sketching skills and is a good alternative
to Dog. It can be described as certainly more abstract than the other well known
sketches from his career but is still clear as to what it is of. It is
incredible to think that some of Picasso's most famous prints could literally
take him just a few minutes at a time, though there is likely to have been some
careful thinking and planning before commencing each work in order to abstract
the creature in the right way, as well as identifying the clear features of
each. The Penguin is another from a series of simple drawings by Picasso which
have achieved great popularity. Penguins often have a popular appeal to animal
lovers who find they have a charming character and unique makeup, so this
Picasso print was always likely to prove popular, particularly when combined
with the artist's inherent ability to create identifiable forms with very few
strokes of his pencil or pen.

Following on from The Penguin, Picasso's Camel is another classic sketch from
his career, with the curves of the Camel offering an opportunity in this work
that makes it a little different from his other notable drawings such as Dog, Le
Pingouin and Owl as featured earlier in this page. The style of Picasso's
contemporary paintings make them very flexible with regards reproductions which
are available to buy from several places online who have acquired permission to
his paintings. The originals can be suited to both framed and unframed art
prints, with giclees best for any with large amounts of colour. Stretched
canvases can also be popular as well. Pablo Picasso has established himself as
one of the most popular artists online because of a number of different reasons,
namely the qualities of his work, the variety of styles in which he was
involved, and also the contemporary nature of most of it which attracts a
younger crowd of interest who are more likely to be frequent internet users.

It is art movements such as Cubism, Abstraction and Impressionism which have
most most exposure online even though academically speaking, the Renaissance and
Baroque traditional art periods are perhaps more respected. PabloPicasso.net
covers the career of Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. PabloPicasso.net covers all
of these eras in detail and offers many of his best paintings and sketches to
buy as art prints online from our recommended retailer, Art.com. The homepage
features ten of his most popular prints, with a further Picasso gallery bringing
many more.
