PABLO PICASO’S BIOGRAPHY
Early years

• Pablo Picasso was the son of José Ruiz Blasco, a professor


of drawing, and Maria Picasso López. His unusual
adeptness for drawing began to manifest itself early,
around the age of 10, when he became his father’s pupil
in A Coruña, where the family moved in 1891.
• The family moved to Barcelona in the autumn of 1895,
and Pablo entered the local art academy (La Llotja),
where his father had assumed his last post as professor of
drawing.
• Picasso fell ill in the spring of 1898 and spent most of the
remaining year convalescing in the Catalan village of
Horta de Ebro in the company of his Barcelona friend
Manuel Pallarès.
• In Barcelona Picasso moved among a circle of Catalan
artists and writers whose eyes were turned toward Paris.
Those were his friends at the café Els Quatre Gats (“The
Four Cats,” styled after the Chat Noir [“Black Cat”] in
Paris), where Picasso had his first Barcelona exhibition in
February 1900, and they were the subjects of more than
50 portraits (in mixed media) in the show.
Discovery of Paris

• One of Picasso’s principal artistic discoveries on that trip


(October–December) was colour—not the drab colours of
the Spanish palette, the black of the shawls of Spanish
women, or the ochres and browns of the Spanish
landscape but brilliant colour—the colour of 
Vincent van Gogh, of new fashion, of a city celebrating a 
world’s fair.
• The return of Picasso
• The death of casagemas the loyal friend of Picasso
The Blue Period

• Between 1901 and mid-1904, when blue was the


predominant colour in his paintings, Picasso moved back
and forth between Barcelona and Paris, taking material for
his work from one place to the other.
The move to Paris and the Rose Period

• Picasso finally made the decision to move permanently to


Paris in the spring of 1904, and his work reflects a change
of spirit and especially a response to different intellectual
 and artistic currents.
• The tones of the Blue Period were replaced from late 1904
to 1906 in the so-called Rose Period by those of pottery,
of flesh, and of the earth itself (The Harem [1906])

CUBISM

• Picasso and Braque worked together closely during the


next few years (1909–12)—the only time Picasso ever
worked with another painter in this way—and they
developed what came to be known as Analytical Cubism.
• As Kahnweiler saw it, Cubism signified the opening up of
closed form by the “re-presentation” of the form of
objects and their position in space instead of their
imitation through illusionistic means; and the analytic
 process of fracturing objects and space, light and
shadow, and even colour was likened by Apollinaire to the
way in which the surgeon dissects a cadaver.
New Mediterraneanism

• After his travels to Italy and a return to Barcelona in 1917


(Parade was performed there in November), a new spirit
of Mediterraneanism made itself felt in his work,
especially in the use of classical forms and drawing
 techniques.
Surrealism
• The Surrealist establishment, including its main
propagandist, André Breton, claimed him as one of their
own, and Picasso’s art gained a new dimension from
contact with his Surrealist friends, particularly the writers.
Sculpture

• Beginning in 1928, Picasso began to work in iron and


sheet metal in Julio González’s studio in Paris. Then, in
1930, he acquired the château Boisgeloup (northwest of
Paris), where he had room for sculpture studios.
