how to understand Picasso
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." ~
Pablo Picasso
(Pablo Ruiz y Picasso), 1881-1973, Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and ceramicist
who worked in France; the foremost figure in 20th-century art. Leader of the School of Paris,
he was remarkable for his technical virtuosity, incredible originality, and prolificacy. Admitted to
the Royal Academy of Barcelona at 15, he later moved to Paris, where he remained until 1947,
then moving to the South of France. His early works, e.g., Old Woman (1901; Philadelphia
Museum Art), show the influence of Toulouse-Lautrec. His production is usually described in
series of overlapping periods. In his melancholy blue period such
works as The Old Guitarist (1903; Art Institute, Chicago) depicted,
in blue tones, the world of the poor. His rose period is characterized
by a lighter palette and subjects from the circus. In 1907, Picasso
painted Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (Museum of Modern Art,
N.Y.C.), the most significant work in the development of "Cubism"
and abstraction, and a forerunner of analytic cubism. In the
synthetic phase of cubism (after 1912), his forms became larger and
more representational, as in Three Musicians (1921; Museum of
Modern Art, N.Y.C.). In the 1920s he also introduced "collage". His
second landmark work was Guernica (Reina Sofía, MadridCentro
de Arte Reina Sofía), animpassioned condemnation of war and
Self Portrait- 1907
fascism. In his later years, Picasso turned to creations of fantasy
and comic invention. Working consistently in sculpture, ceramics,
and the graphic arts, he continued to explore his personal vision until his death at 91.
"I don't get why that is art!"
Whenever I show Picasso's cubism paintings, I have a handful of
students that say, "That's Art? I could do that in
KINDERGARDEN!" What I always respond with is an image of
some of Pablo Picasso's most meticulous realistic
drawings/paintings. I ask those students, "And who do you think did
these?"
