Pablo Picasso (188 1 ~ 1973) was born in Malaga, Spain. He is the most creative and influential artist in the contemporary west. He and his paintings occupy an immortal position in the history of world art. Picasso was also a prolific painter. According to statistics, his works total nearly 37,000 pieces, including oil painting 1 0,885 pieces, sketch 7089 pieces, print 20,000 pieces and lithograph 6 1 piece.

Picasso's painting and style have changed several times in his life. Perhaps because of his sensitivity and precocity to impermanence and poverty, Picasso's early works are full of precocious melancholy, and his early paintings approximate the theme of expressionism. While studying, Picasso studied academic skills and traditional themes, and created works with religious themes as the description object, such as The First Eucharist. The soft color of Degas and the theme of high society pursued by Rotleck are also the objects of Picasso's early research. In the paintings such as Garrett's Mill and Woman Drinking Absinthe, there is always a vague sadness that the phantom of sound and light floating is operated by Rotlake. Picasso moved to Barcelona with his parents when he was fourteen, and saw new local art and ideas. However, just when he was eager to try, he suffered the defeat of the Spanish colonial war at that time. The drastic political changes have led to the tragic situation of the people, and Barcelona, as an important town, bears the brunt. Perhaps it is this double stimulation of excitement and despair that makes Picasso subconsciously give birth to the melancholy power of the blue period. Picasso, who moved to Paris, was poor and lived in a strange and shabby residence "laundry boat", where some wandering artists gathered at that time. It was also at this time that seventeen-year-old Olive entered Picasso's life on a rainy day. So the nourishment and sweetness of love softened his stubborn and depressed heart for life, and the blue color of his gloomy pain began to have a jumping mood. Carefully and slowly burn the old sadness, at this time, the whole painting style expands the tenderness of happiness and the joy of emotional closeness. In the works of the rose-red period, although the characters' expressions are still indifferent, they have paid attention to the harmonious aesthetic feeling and subtle humanistic care. In addition to the richness of colors, the whole has been out of the hopeless abyss of the previous blue period. Abandon the sad and lifeless symbols of poverty and disease, and replace them with interest, care and confidence in life. In a woman's shirt, a looming tulle shirt gently outlines Dong's body emerging from the darkness, firmly extending and revealing the arrogance and self-confidence of young women. There is a delicate and subtle aesthetic feeling that flows like a ghost. The overall atmosphere is conveyed in a soft and meticulous way, which makes the mysterious body pity the morbid beauty in the dense; The main reason for the formation of collage art stems from Picasso's desire to break through the limitation of space, which is the product of a stroke of genius. In fact, collage was not initiated by Picasso, but existed in folk crafts in the19th century, but Picasso brought it to the picture and broke away from the status of crafts. 19 13 The first collage works, Still Life on a Rattan Chair and Guitar, are the best interpretations of cubism in collage. Later paintings focused on primitive art and simplified the image. 19 15- 1920, the painting style once turned to realism. 1930 is obviously inclined to surrealism. During World War II, Picasso painted the oil painting "guernica" to protest the indiscriminate bombing of the northern Spanish town of guernica by German and Italian fascists. This painting is Picasso's most famous abstract painting which combines cubism, realism and surrealism. Its violent deformation, twisted and exaggerated brushstrokes, geometric color block accumulation and abstract modeling show pain, suffering and animality, and express Picasso's complex emotions. Later, he created a large number of sculptures, prints and ceramic works, and also made outstanding achievements. Picasso engaged in artistic activities from the end of 19 to the 1970s. Picasso was the most influential modernist painter in the whole 20th century. Picasso's works have a great influence on modern western art schools. Picasso is a seeker of ever-changing artistic techniques. Impressionism, post-impressionism and the artistic techniques of the beast have all been absorbed by him and re-selected as his own style. His talent lies in maintaining his rough and powerful personality in various variation styles and achieving internal unity and harmony in the application of various techniques. He has reached the pinnacle, and his works, whether ceramics, prints or sculptures, are like childish games. In his life, there was never a specific teacher or a specific child, but no painter who was active in the twentieth century could completely bypass the road opened by Picasso. 1973, he quietly left, and finished his 92-year-old long career and spent his whole life.

He is one of the most influential artists in the west in the twentieth century. He left a surprising number of works in his life, with rich and varied styles and extraordinary creativity. Representative works include: The Maiden of avignon, The Statue of Kasler, Bottle, Glass and Violin, and guernica.
