Pablo PicassoSpanish Modern Artist (1881-1973)
Pablo Picasso was born on October 25,1881 in
Malaga, Spain. He was the first child of Don Jose Ruiz y Blasco, an art
teacher, and Maria Picasso y Lopez. At an early age Pablo showed an
interest in drawing. His first words were "piz, piz", which is short for
"lapiz", the Spanish word for pencil.
At the age of 7 Pablo began receiving art instruction from his father. His
father believed that an artist's training should include copying the
masters, and drawing the human body from plaster casts and live
models. The precision of Pablo's painting technique grew, until it
soon surpassed that of his father. In 1895 Pablo's father
accepted a position at Barcelona's School of Fine Arts. He asked
officials to allow his son
to take the entrance
exam. The officials
were impressed with
Pablo's abilities and
admitted him to the
academy. As a student
he lacked discipline,
though made friends
and continued to grow
as an artist.
At the age of 16 Pablo's
father enrolled him in Spain's most distinguished art school, Madrid's Royal Academy of San
Fernando. His instruction at the Royal Academy lasted only a short time however, as he struggled to
accept formal instruction.
