BIOGRAPHY OF PABLO PICASSO
He was born in 1881.
Pablo took his mother's surname, because his father's surname – Ruiz was very common, besides, the father of the future artist was an artist himself, and Pablo had someone to study with.
As a child, his father allowed Pablo to finish his work for him – for example, to finish drawing the legs of pigeons.
Once, when Pablo had the opportunity to perform a larger scale work, Jose Ruiz was amazed by his technique, and, as one of the legends about Picasso says,he was so amazed that from that day he himself stopped painting.
Already at the age of 16, Pablo went to Madrid, to the best art school at that time.
He did not study there for long, although he managed to impress both his fellow students and teachers with his skill.
He became much more interested in various aspects of the life of a big city, and also plunged headlong into the work of artists interesting to him – Diego Velasquez, Francisco Goya, and especially El Greco.
Picasso lived a very long life, never ceasing to create.
For almost a century of his life, he experienced many creative changes, romantic meetings with women, changed a dozen luxury houses and died a multimillionaire.
THE WORK OF PABLO PICASSO
"Brilliant talent" - this is how the teenager was described at the Madrid Academy of Fine Arts.
However, Pablo soon announced to his parents that there was a complete conservatism there and he would not learn anything new.
At the age of 15, the young artist created a work of profound content – "Knowledge and Mercy".
The painting received a gold medal, and the first solo exhibition of Pablo was held in the cafe "Four Cats".
In 1900, Picasso visited Paris and fell ill with it.
Four years later, he moved there to live.
"The Bent Harlequin", "The Absinthe Lover".
The artist removes everything superfluous from the compositions, perfectly conveying the emotional state of the characters.
Gradually, the multicolour disappears from Picasso's paintings, giving way to a piercing blue color.
The works are filled with a sense of longing and loneliness, which are akin to the moods of the painter himself.

Changes in the master's life followed after his acquaintance with the Russian philanthropist and collector Pyotr Shchukin.
He purchased several paintings by a young artist.
Well, then the life of Pablo was illuminated by the love for the red haired beauty Fernande Olivier, who inspired the artist to create the famous image of a guitar woman.
The girl lived in the same house as the master.
The jealous Picasso put a lock on the door, protecting his treasure.
Transparent and light colors appeared in his palette.
The "pink" period reflects Pablo's passion for the circus.
Harlequins and street gymnasts are his favorite characters.
A miniature gymnast wants to keep her balance while standing on a spinning ball; she is impressed with her success, showing the man sitting next to her her dexterity and grace ("Girl on the ball").
The picture has a truly magical property: not a single detail can be excluded from it otherwise the whole composition will crumble.
A combination of geometric objects and human figures.
In 1906, the artist's manner changed dramatically.
In" The Maidens of Avignon", the master created a completely new reality by constructing figures from geometric volumes broken by sharp angles.
The audience and friends of Picasso were shocked.
However, this work will be called an important step on the way to Cubism.
Visual Esperanto, as this genre is called, developed in stages.
The" Cezanne " stage is characterized by gray, brown and green tones ("A woman with a fan"), and the image is based on a comparison of geometric shapes.
"Analytical" cubism literally "splits" the image into parts.
The canvas resembles fragments of broken glass, storing the reflection of a person ("Portrait of Ambroise Vollard").
The "synthetic" cubism ("Violin and Guitar") is distinguished by its decorativeness and contrast.
Despite the rejection of most of the ideas of Picasso by the audience, his paintings sold well.

In 1917, the artist decided to try his hand at a new field, creating scenery and costumes for performances of the Diaghilev Ballet in Paris.
Olga Khokhlova danced in the corps de ballet, had a proud posture, was aristocratically refined and unapproachable ("Portrait of Olga in an armchair").
Passionately in love, Pablo was married to his beloved.
Olga sought to make the bohemian spouse more refined.
However, it soon turned out that they were completely different people.
Even the birth of a son did not save the dying relationship.
Well, since 1927, the image of a blonde woman ("Dream") began to appear on the artist's canvases.
Marie Therese Walter's passion coincided with attempts to express herself in a surreal manner.
Scandals in the family and quarrels with Marie Therese this Gordian knot was cut by Picasso in one fell swoop, leaving both women.
An intellectual outlet for the artist was the avant garde photographer Dora Maar.
She filmed the entire process of creating the famous triptych "Guernica" — the master's response to the events of wartime.
Dora became for many years the main model of Picasso.
The real joy of life was experienced by Pablo with the young artist Francoise Gillot ("The Joy of Life").
Independent and freedom loving, she gave the artist a son, Claude, and a daughter, Paloma, but could not be with him together.
The last companion and the second official wife of the master – Jacqueline Rock called him "monsignor" and kissed his hands.
One of the best works of Picasso's late work is "The Kiss".
Everything in it is exaggeratedly large.
The woman clung to her beloved man with trusting devotion, peering at the features that were dear to her.

One can argue for a long time about whether Picasso loved his muses or took a hobby for love.
One thing is clear: all of them were needed to leave an invaluable legacy of genius, the importance of which for the world of art is difficult to overestimate.
This is 50 thousand paintings, sculptural works, ceramic products and drawings.
Such creative energy completely changed the landscape of world painting, even during his lifetime, Picasso was recognized as a genius of the XX century.
INTERESTING FACTS FROM THE LIFE OF PABLO PICASSO
At birth, Pablo was considered dead — the child was born so weak.
The mother had a very difficult birth, and this could not but affect the heir.
The midwife even went to tell the mother of the child the sad news that the baby was stillborn.
However, Uncle Picasso loved cigars, and even entered the room where his "dead" nephew was lying, holding a smoking cigar in his mouth.
Without thinking twice, the uncle blew a stream of smoke into the baby's face, and he reacted by crying.
Naturally, after that, he was no longer considered dead.
The first word that the boy uttered was "PIZ" - an abbreviation of " LAPIZ "("pencil" in Spanish).

Picasso got his first serious work by signing a contract with the seller of paintings Pere Menach from Paris.
This brought him 150 francs (for modern money, about 750 US dollars of course, in terms of).
