PABLO PICASSO BIOGRAPHY

Pablo Picasso was born in 1881, October 25 in the town Málaga. His christened
full was Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los
Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso That were the sequence
of the names of admirer holy men and his family relatives. Picasso - it was the
maiden surname his mother which he took for himself. His father had name José
Ruiz, it was too ordinary and at the same time he was also an artist.

Pablo was shown his drawing talent since early childhood. He was studied his
father since 7 years. He had been instructed to draw paws of pigeons on the
father`s pictures. But once his father charged to complete the picture of the
quite large still life and he was surprised his son`s technique so much, that he
by legend left off own painting.

When Pablo was 13 he brilliantly entered in the Barcelona Academy of Art. The
examiners were surprised his mastership and he was taken in Academy spite of his
adolescent age. His father and uncle settled to send Pablo in the San Fernando
Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid known as the forward School of Art in
Spain. So Pablo came to Madrid in 1897 when he was 16. However classes at School
of Art lasted not a long time (less than one year) he was captured with charm of
style Madrid life and studying works of the impressing artists those days: Diego
Velázquez, Francisco Goya and particularly El Greko. During the period of his
education in Madrid Picasso made the first tour in Paris. That city was the
confident European capital of art. Pablo visited all museums there during some
months and studied masterpieces of the great painters: Delacroix,
Toulouse-Lautrec, van Gogh, Gauguin and many others. Also he was keen on
Phoenician and Egyptian Art, Gothic sculpture, Japan drawing. Pablo was
interested absolutely all.

February 1901 in Madrid Picasso learned that his close friend Carlos Casagemas
had died. May 5 1901 the artist visited Paris for the second time; everything
reminded him about Casagemas, with whom he had discovered the French capital not
so long ago. Pablo stayed in the room where Carlos had spent his last days,
started an affair with Germaine, because of whom Carlos had committed suicide,
and palled around with the same people. One can only imagine how hard it was for
Picasso to cope with the anguish of bereavement, guilt and the imminence of
death... It constituted the ground for the 'Blue period'.

The 'Rose period' is represented more full of life tones sienna and pink, and
also steady topics of pictures - clowns, vagabond actors , acrobats. Charmed
with comedians which became the models his picture, he often visited the Circus
Medrano. During that time a clown was his favorite personage. In 1904 Picasso
met a model Fernande Olivier who inspired his for creation many important
pictures of that time. They lived in the centre of Paris' bohemianism and Mecca
of painters - in Le Bateau-Lavoir. That strange half-destroyed building with
dark stairs and winding corridors was home for various company: poets, traders,
yardmen. There in an atmosphere of absolute poverty and on a verge of misery and
in indescribable creative chaos Picasso drew his Fernande and searched for his
own way.
In 1906 Picasso drew a portrait of Gertrude Stein. He redrew it about 80 times
and by her remembrance finally Picasso said her furiously: 'I stop to see you
when I look at you.' and he discontinued his work. It was the turning-point in
his creation and from there he began his way from representations separate
people to representation a man as the man and to a shape like self-contained
structure. Picasso needed new impressions for receipt new creation energy. The
since opening of that time the whole layer of the African culture became an
impulse for creation of the artist. He especially was interested African culture
and masks, he reckoned that they had magic power and he had found in them the
sensual simplicity of shapes.

Cézanne proclaimed: 'Nature is a thing that cannot be reproduced, but must be
represented by something else – by color'. He was echoed by Picasso: 'Cubism has
never been anything but art for the sake of art, which excludes all concepts of
immaterial reality. Color is important only insofar as it helps to portray
volumes'. They distinguish the "Cubism" period of Picasso on some steps:
"cézanne cubism" characterized "cézanne" tones: sienna, light-green, brown, but
more washed-out, muddy with using of the simple geometric shapes which a picture
is built from. "Analytic" cubism: a subject is separated on small parts which
are distinctly detached one from another and the subject form is faded on the
canvas. On the step of "synthetic" cubism pictures of Picacco had the decorative
and contrast character. They were generally represented with still life of the
different subjects: musical instruments, music, bottles of vine, smoke pipes,
dishes, posters.

Despite underestimating the most of people Picasso's pictures they are bought
very well. At last the poverty existence is ended, Pablo and Fernande moved in
1909, September into the spacious and light workshop on the street Clichy.
Picasso, of course, didn't forget to convey his compulsory chaos: fancy bottles
and vases, guitars, an old carpet, pictures of his favourite artists - Matisse,
Cézanne, Russo, the collection of African masks. He always said he felt horror
from harmony and good taste. He bought things which he liked, didn't worry how
they looked.

In 1911, Autumn Picasso parted with Fernande. His new muse became Eva (Marcelle
Humbert). They lived together and he created his own the cubism works on
Montparnasse and in Avignon. Then were become the painful years: the World War
I, a mobilization and parting withy many friends, a sudden illness and tragic
Eva's death.

In 1917, Spring a poet Jean Cocteau collaborated with Sergei Diaghilev had
proposed to Picasso to make sketches and decorations for a future ballet. The
artist went to work in Rome where he fell in love in one dansers of the
Diaghilev's group - Olga Khokhlova. They were married in 1918 and their son Paul
was born in 1921. That time the Picasso's pictures were very far from cubism,
they had clear and intelligible shapes, light tones, correct faces. Picasso was
hard criticized for interchange of style as before for cubism. He had answered
those accusations in his interview 'Every time, when I want something to say I
say it in such manner, which accordance with mine sensation it has to say.'


THE 24 QUOTES

Everything you can imagine is real.
My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you
are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became
Picasso.
What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted
by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest?
Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply
do not exist.
Give me a museum and I'll fill it.
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others
who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot
into the sun.
I do not seek. I find.
I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do
it.
Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow
spot into the sun.
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's
bath like a lump of sugar.
Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows
up.
Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it
becomes transformed by thought.
Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?
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.
Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.
Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter.
Those who create.
Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.
Every positive value has its price in negative terms... the genius of Einstein
leads to Hiroshima.
God is really only another artist, he made the elephant, giraffe and cat. He has
no real style but keeps trying new ideas.


All quotes

'Beauty will be convulsive or won't be at all' - said André Breton, an
establisher of Surrealizm as the direction in art, set his goal achievement true
depths of the art creature, due to penetrating in the world of dreams and
involuntary. In an article on Picasso Breton analyzed the causes of own
admiration of the artist and concluded that 'reality is not limited to what we
see', and that 'artist had to grasp the model, or the 'internal concept'. The
numerous portraits of Marie-Thérèse Walter that make up the surrealist legacy of
Picasso can be called the understanding of the model. It was in 1927, one cold
day Picasso had met 17 years old Marie-Thérèse. He had bought for her the castle
Château de Boisgeloup and she became there his the only model and heroine of
some his known pictures. In 1935 Marie-Thérèse had gave birth to daughter Maya,
but before 1936 Picasso parted with them, also he wasn't devoted with Olga
Khokhlova until her death in 1955.

Since 1930s in Picasso's creature was appeared his key aspect and image - a
Bull, Minotaur. The artist created the series of works with this personage and
he traced his own point of view about the Minotaur' myth. For him the Bull,
Minotaur was the destructive power, war and death. He well known Picasso's
picture Guernica (1937) became an apogee of development that theme. Guernica is
a small town of the Basques on the north of Spain, practically destroyed with
the German aviation in 1937, 26 April. This large monochromatic (black, white,
gray) picture was shown at first in the Pavilion of the Spanish Republic in
Paris during the World Exhibition. One day the German officers had made a search
of Picasso's house and a Nazi looked at the table photo of Guernica asked : "Did
you do that?". "No, you did." answered the artist. Picaso met his new muse and
mistress Dora Maar in 1936. She was a nervous and unbalanced woman, often crying
and arranged histerics. That's why so many portraits of "crying women" are among
of the paintings of the artist. Thanks to her we can follow up the process of
creating Guernica. The series of monsters about Franco was created in the same
period (in 1936 Picasso had supported the Republicans and spoke against
adherents of Franco) and many pictures with the close themes.

After the war, the artist's work for obvious reasons becomes more bright and
joyful. Besides, there is a new love in his life. In 1946 Picasso had met a
young artist - woman Françoise Gilot and came over with her in the castle
Grimaldy. Soon she gave him a son Claude and a daughter Paloma. He often paints
Françoise with children and the exquisite decorativeness of these paintings
emphasizes the atmosphere of comfort and family idyll. They have lived together
for almost 10 years in the south of France. But in 1953 she ran away from
Picasso with both children through his difficult character and permanent
infidelity; it was hard for him that parting and it reverberated on his work of
that period. An ugly old pygmy and young beautiful girl are contrasted as a
slapstick in many drawings with Indian ink. Even at the age of 70 Picasso
continues to work a lot. He constantly experiments and tries new techniques.
Once after visiting the pottery fair in Vallauris, he tries himself in this new
craft and falls in love with ceramics for a long time. He spends a lot of time
in the ceramic workshop of Madura, creating a variety of plates, vases, jugs,
figurines. In the same place, in 1953 the artist meets his new beloved. In 1961
80-years old Picasso had married 34-years old Jacqueline Roque. She had inspired
him for series of picture where everyone can see her chiselled profile sphinx.
He had bought a villa in Cannes for himself and herself. She remained the last
and loyal to Picasso woman. She took care of his health when he was ill, blind
and hard of hearing till his death.

Picasso died in 1973, April 8. He was 92 - years old multimillionaire and buried
near his own castle Vauvenargues. He left more than 80,000 works (another
information approximately 20,000). He said about Death: 'I think about Death all
time, it is as a woman who will never leave me'. In 1970 the Picasso Museum was
opened in Barcelona (the pictures for that museum were given in possession by
himself) and in 1985 with helping his heir apparents was founded the Picasso
Museum in Paris, counted more than 200 pictures, 150 sculptures and some
thousands drawings, collages, prints, documents. The Picasso's creature had been
influenced on developing of Art and Culture of XX century. And on the world
auctions before nowadays are searched and sat out for sale new and new little
known works of famous artist from his huge heritage.

'So I'm an art collector who's stumped. I have a lithograph I can't find

Picasso's Mother Child 4 hands study but it's different than any other I've
found. Fist off, it's a 3 color litho. It's also on Montvall laid paper on
board. The print definitely has age to it but obviously no way to tell how old.
I have looked for various water marks but haven't found any. Being laid paper on
board makes it difficult. I had originally thought it may be printed in France
by La Photolithography L Delaporte. Basically because the size was about the
same and the 3 print colors were the same. However, the Mother Child litho
doesn't have the information located at the bottom margin of the print like
others I've seen. So after all that any thoughts?'

'The painting is certainly impressive, to say the least. But what has always
struck me as curious is that none of Picasso's other works from this period are
anywhere near as accomplished as this painting. It is a well known fact that at
one time it was a common practice in teaching painting, for the master to
repaint areas of the student's work. In the case of this painting, I cannot help
but wonder how much of it might have actually been painted by Picasso's
father.'
