Pablo Ruiz Picasso [1881-1973]
Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born in Malaga Spain on October
25 1881. He became obsessed with art from a very early age,and from
his fairly humble background he rose to become one of the undisputed
masters of modern art. By the age of 14 young Pablo was already adept
at painting in a realist manner however he had an obsessive need to
express himself,and was constantly experimenting with new techniques.Picasso
moved to Paris in 1900,where lonely and impoverished he painted his
first works from his now famous Blue Period.....by 1905 however, his
fame was growing and his works became brighter. He abandoned the sombre
dark imageryof the previous years..and his works became filled with
.circus people and other brighter, light hearted, cheerful subjects....more
and more he became disenchanted with the traditional european styles
of painting...he began to study the primitive art of Africa, finding
that a simple style of painting was able to express his' inner spirit'
in a way that realism was unable to accomplish...He was a prolific artist,and
he experimented in a large number of mediums and styles,from drawings
and paintings,to sculpture and ceramics,and from realism through to
primitive abstraction.He was a leading exponent of many modern art movements,
and along with Braque is credited as an inventor of the cubist style.
