Picasso

Pablo Picasso (188 1 ~ 1973) is a Spanish painter and sculptor.

Hello, have you heard of Picasso?

You must be laughing at me for asking such a simple question, right?

Ok, I'll ask again. Do you know Picasso's full name?

Take a few seconds to think about it. The name I think of is Pablo Ruiz Picasso.

If your answer is like this, unfortunately, the answer is wrong!

The correct answer is: Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomucono Marí a de Los Remedios Cipriano de La Santí sima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso (Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Ann Nipomuccino Maria de Los Remedos Cipriano de La Santa Tisima Trinidad Ruiz Picasso).

Names that take several breaths to read are really long, long, long.

Why is Picasso's name so long?

That's because Picasso was born in Spain, which is a country with amazing names, while Picasso born in Spain has freedom with Spanish characteristics in his bones.

If you want to use a word to describe Picasso, there is no more appropriate word than "freedom". To borrow a lyric from beyond is to forgive my life's wildness and love of freedom.

Picasso's painting style is changeable, involving a wide range, which is staggering.

Like impressionism.

Neo-Impressionism

post-impressionism

realism

superrealism

expressionism

symbolism

primitivism

Art nouveau movement

Japanese style

Even advertisements are not immune.

Of course, we can't forget the cubism we are familiar with ~

Throughout Picasso's life, his painting style has changed endlessly. No one knows what kind of works he will draw in the next second, but fortunately for us, we can review his works and have a look at the artistic track of this master.

People divide Picasso's life into eight important periods through his works.

Early 1890- 1900

Blue period 1900- 1903

Rose period 1904- 1906

Black period 1906- 19 10

Cubism period1910-1916

Neoclassical period 19 17- 1924

Surrealism period 1925- 1932

Transition and grazing period 1933- 1973

Although there are different opinions on the division of the period, from this division, we can undoubtedly feel Picasso's long and long artistic career as its name suggests.

Today, let's follow the master's works and experience an unrestrained artistic journey.

Picasso was born in Malaga, a port city in southern Spain. His father is an art teacher, and he is also the curator of an art gallery. Picasso grew up in an artistic family and was influenced by art.

/kloc-at the age of 0/4, Picasso was admitted to the advanced class of Barcelona Art School where his father taught. /kloc-participated in the national art exhibition at the age of 0/6, and was later admitted to the Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid.

Picasso's childhood, smooth sailing, seems to have a bright future. However, the formality and boredom of the art school suffocated Picasso, and he was eager to break through this depressing atmosphere and find a new way out.

At the age of nine, Picasso came to Paris and lived in Clichy Street, living at the bottom of society because of poverty. The works of this period were surrounded by melancholy blue, which opened his "blue period".

Picasso spent a lot of time painting poor people in poverty.

For example, the poor and helpless blind.

For example, mothers and babies in a dilemma.

Such as beggars who are hungry and cold.

Picasso made many explorations in life during this period.

Living among the poor, he saw naked poverty, despair and loneliness, and his friend Casa Guimas's suicide made it worse, which made him have to face the cruel proposition of death. ↓↓↓

The shocking tragedy in life is staged every day. When caught in the picture, it turns blue everywhere, and even his self-portrait is full of melancholy colors. ↓↓↓

1903, Picasso painted this life.

The man in the photo is a portrait of his dead friend.

Using painting to write the meaning of life, different stages of life and different scenes are described together, and the fate between people is intertwined and independent, which seems to be causal and irrelevant.

The gray-blue picture seems to tell the inevitability that exists in the accident, the accident that exists in the necessity, and the eternal truth that exists in the ever-changing life. This harmonious picture with double meanings of "wandering" and "firmness" may be Picasso's answer to all his life thoughts. ↓↓↓

1904 in spring, with the arrival of spring, everything revives and flowers bloom, as if the whole world is covered with a warm rose.

During this period, Picasso moved to Montmartre to live with his lover Fernand. Ambiguous rose came with love and blended into his canvas. The pink of youth banished the heavy blue, and the "rose period" began.

Young woman, vagrant and acrobat, BLACKPINK appeared on his canvas and performed a fascinating pink comedy.

Blue to pink, this elusive change, is the survival of the blue period or the silence of pink love, we don't know, all we can see is the warm breath in those rose colors, which seems to indicate that the owner of the brush has a new understanding of life.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/905, Picasso broke up with Fernand. Subsequently, the painter entered the so-called "black period" and began to explore art forms.

From the paintings of this period, it is not difficult to find that he began to pursue classical and simple lines, and his modeling was as simple as sculpture, drastically eliminating all unimportant details, interpreting the depicted theme with geometric figures and corners, leaving it in rose color and turning to simple yellow-brown color.

Picasso and georges braque founded Cubism together.

Cubism experienced two stages: analytical cubism and comprehensive cubism, which brought an outstanding change to the art world.

During this period, Picasso stopped describing the shape of the object and gave up perspective, light and shade, and even the object itself.

In the period of analyzing cubism, he decomposed objects into elements in his mind and then reassembled them on the screen, trying to present a complete world on the fragmented screen and a three-dimensional, four-dimensional and infinite space on the two-dimensional canvas. ↓↓↓

In the period of comprehensive cubism, painters added letters and numbers to their works and painted in the form of collage. During this period, his works gradually enriched in color and began to pursue the integrity and harmony of the picture.

19 17, Picasso went to Italy to design the stage for the ballet russes, during which she met the dancer Olga Koklova, the daughter of a general, whose style revived Picasso's old love.

19 18, they got married in Paris. 192 1 year, Odga gave birth to Picasso's eldest son, Paul. With the change of environment and lover, Picasso's painting style has also changed, which opened the prelude to the "neoclassical period". The works of this period have a Roman sculpture-like texture, but with a bold and unrestrained atmosphere, the picture is light.

From 1925 to 1932, Picasso entered the "surreal period".

1927 Picasso met 17-year-old Mary, became his model and lover, and gave birth to a daughter. At this time, Picasso did not divorce his wife Odga, and lived with the enthusiastic photographer Dora.

Picasso wandered between different women, getting inspiration and enthusiasm. The images of the works in this period are distorted and the forms are difficult to distinguish. The painter completely divorced from the realistic form of the object, and created an illusory and dreamy picture through distorted detailed description.

Picasso's later works are mostly abstract paintings combined with cubism, realism and surrealism. The violent deformation of the picture shows the painter's inner complex emotions through distorted and exaggerated brushstrokes.

It is amazing to take stock of Picasso's life's works, both in quality and quantity. In his limited life, he irrigated infinite artistic life with amazing creation.

This talented artist has led an era, and his works of art will be handed down from generation to generation, and will also bring inspiration and inspiration to more people.
