Pablo Ruiz Picasso's Artistic Career

Picasso has been shuttling between Spain and Paris since 1900. 1904 settled in Paris and lived in the famous "dhobi ghat". In Paris, he made friends with Max Jacob, Van Donji, Long Ermeng, Apollinaire and the landlord's daughter, Lapin Ackell. He painted several portraits of Madeleine. At that time, his works were still influenced by symbolism popular in Barcelona.

Picasso's living conditions were very poor at that time. Influenced by the painting styles of Degas, Yassir and Toulouse Lautrec, and the Spanish sadness when he was educated in Spain, his works in this period were filled with a gloomy blue melancholy.

Pink period

1906 Picasso meets Matisse. Then I met Dylan and Braque and lived in Montmartre with Fernand Olivier. At that time, his economy improved, his life was much happier than before, and his paintings turned pale pink. The objects of painting have also changed from beggars, thin children and sad women in the blue period to street performers, jugglers and young women.

Black period

(From 1906 to 19 10 in Africa)

From 65438 to 0906, Picasso was inspired by Dylan's African mask, and his works were always influenced by African mask until the end of the year, that is, Picasso's African period. The human body in his works is powerful and profound, which is fully demonstrated in 1907' s Maiden of avignon. The human body composed of different parts can be viewed from several angles, revealing the arrival of Picasso's cubism. However, there are still traces of Cezanne's influence throughout the period.

Analytical cubism

Most of Picasso's artist friends moved from Montmartre to Montpanas, and he moved there with them. At that time, the cubist experience reached its peak. Jacques Biss commented on him like this: "The work is composed of sketches, and the color and tone are weakened to the minimum gray and light orange; The form is geometric and integrated, which leads to the trace restraining its recognizable identity, breaking free from the shackles and finally stripping from the form. "It's like looking at a single image from the focus of a prism. Life is like this, but Picasso extended it to portraits. He and Braque made the first collages.

Comprehensive cubism

19 14 years, the war made cubist painters go their separate ways. Picasso regained his freedom, personal taste in color and exuberant energy. No matter from the style or the object of painting, his "three-dimensional impressionism" creation has become more free. Looking at all his works, he is not limited to cubism, but continues to explore from all aspects. For example, the works from 19 15 to 19 16 are naturalistic; 19 17 is realism.

Neoclassical period

Picasso, who lives in Italy, had just designed the background and costume for ballets russes directed by Diahilev when he met the ballerina Olga Kohalova. 19 18 He married Chylova and gave birth to a son. This relatively comfortable life coincides with the neoclassical period of Picasso's creative career. At 192 1 and 1926, he continued to make cubist works, while at 1923, his works took a realistic route.

From 1925 to 1932, Picasso entered the period of surrealism. 1933- 1934 During his stay in Spain, Niu Shouren's works appeared. 1927, he met a very young Mary Torres Walter, who became his model and gave birth to his daughter Maggie. Picasso did not divorce his wife at this time, but lived with Donna Mar, an enthusiastic female painter and photographer. He drew some pictures for Mary. Their relationship lasted nearly ten years. In the new workshop on Grand Augustine Road, Picasso created a large-scale work of guernica, during which he did a lot of preparatory work.

1943, he met Francesca Luo Ji and lived with her in Midi, Antibu. From 65438 to 0945, he painted a series of still life paintings and created ceramics in loris. His son Claude was born in 1947 and his daughter Paloma was born in 1949. His works not only show the happiness of this simple family life, but also express his commitment to politics: 1944 painted the skins of bones, 1947 has the Spaniard who died for France. He continued to paint still lifes, landscapes and portraits ... 1950, Courbet's Woman by the Seine began his variations around famous works.

1954, Francesca Jiro left Picasso. Picasso met Guilin Jia Roque in loris and spent more than 20 years with this woman. They lived in Cannes before 1959. In Cannes, he immersed himself in painting La Rue's "The Woman of Algiers" and Velazquez's "The Maid in Palace", while continuing the follow-up work of the studio. He first moved to Nagai, Wo Wo, and then settled in Natadan Meade Castle near Mugan to continue his series of variations. From 1960 to 1972, he worked tirelessly. Only in 13 years, more than a thousand works were included in the catalogue, including prints, sketches, oil paintings and so on. Picasso died in 1973 at the age of 92.
