Understanding of Picasso's works

I have been trying to understand Picasso, and I have read many articles about Picasso, either abstruse or simple. I always seemed to be a little lacking in understanding, until a trip to the seaside, I accidentally realized that I was walking into Picasso's world with you.

From the mid-20th century to this century, the famous writer John Richardson wrote in the penultimate volume of his biography "Picasso's Life: days of our lives, 19 17- 1932": "Everything Picasso did was news."

This will certainly make people wonder: why the broken and unsightly paintings make Picasso an outstanding representative of modern artists! You know, there were many "geniuses" in France in the 20th century. Why not them? Matisse of Fauvism, marcel duchamp, the founder of modern art, and salvador dali, a real and extremely eccentric surrealist.

I think Picasso not only stands out from the crowd and is outstanding in talent, but also includes the "land" where he was born!

Picasso was born in the southernmost part of Spain in 188 1. He watched the colorful and exaggerated cactus in the strong sunlight since he was a child. Growing up in a diversified cultural ecology; Absorbing Spain's tough folk customs and bloody bullfighting culture, killing cattle is a tribute to the cow with a sword, which is the glory of death. He lived fiercely and died tragically, constantly surpassing and confronting. He gained tenacious vitality from this ancient bullfighting culture, which is very important for his later artistic career. His works have an explosive stimulus from the senses to the mind. The most touching and attractive thing about him is his desire to overcome, surpass and challenge himself.

Picasso's father was an art teacher, so he received a good art training. When he was eight or nine years old, he drew a picture. After his father saw it, he decided not to paint in the future. He said, "I have already lost to my son."

1895 Picasso entered Barcelona longha art school with high marks.

/kloc-won the Spanish national award at the age of 0/6.

When he was studying in Barcelona, he often skipped classes, went to the Four Cats Cafe where many artists came back from Paris to communicate, met all kinds of people, high-level, low-level, artists and farmers ... He observed and understood everyone with his heart, then melted into his artistic bones, and then he started a new journey.

1900, 19-year-old Picasso went to Paris and said "I'm coming" to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. All pride, conquest and dreams are integrated into these three words.

When I first arrived in Paris, the economy was not good, so I had to live in the poorest and dirtiest place in Paris and had already "produced" a laundry factory for artists. To be a beggar, you can only eat bread given by good people every day.

What he sees every day is that the most humble and lowest-level people in society are struggling to survive, and their psychology is full of melancholy, but genius is genius and has not been defeated. He reflected everything in his creation.

1900- 1903, at the low tide of his life, he expressed poverty, old age and loneliness with a strong blue tone.
