Interesting Facts About Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso was born on 25th October 1881 in Malaga, Spain. His father was an artist and he began to draw and paint from an early age. His family moved to Barcelona when he was fourteen and Picasso went to study at the academy of fine arts there. In 1900 Picasso had his first exhibition in Barcelona and made his first visit to Paris, where he would settle four years later. He quickly became part of an artistic circle including Gertrude and Leo Stein and the art dealer Ambrose Vollard.

Picasso is well known for his constantly evolving and experimental style. The first few years of the nineteenth century are now known as his ‘Blue Period’, which was followed by the ‘Rose Period’ and in 1907 the crucial pivotal work ‘Les Demoiselles d’Avignon’, which turned art on its head and lead to the development of cubism.

Picasso worked through various developments of the cubist style and in 1916 began working with theatre and ballet productions. In the late 1920s Picasso had some involvement with the Surrealists, and began working more with sculpture from about 1931. The Spanish Civil War unsurprisingly had a significant impact on Picasso, the most famous result of which was his iconic and ground breaking painting, 'Guernica' in 1937.

Picasso was always prolific and experimental, but his late works are particularly daring, colourful and expressive. Even at the end of his long career, he was pushing the boundaries, and ahead of everyone else as usual. Pablo Picasso died on 8 April 1973.
