Pablo+Picasso

=Pablo Picasso=

Pablo Picasso's real name was Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz & Picasso. His long name was created to honor relatives and saints. He was born on October 25, 1881 and died on April 8, 1973. He was a Spanish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor who lived and created most of his art in France. Picasso was part of the cubist movement. The cubist movement was an art movement that inspired music, literature, and architecture. Picasso is best known by two paintings that were in the cubist movements. These paintings are Les Demoiselles d’ Avignon (The Young Ladies of Avignon), and Guernica, which was a representation of the bombing of Guernica. (We saw this picture of Guernica in a meeting.)

In Picasso's lifetime, he was married twice and had 4 children. He had an affair with a lady name Marie-Thérèse, who was waiting for the day for Pablo to ask her marry her but that never happened. Four years after Pablo passed away, Marie couldn't take it anymore and hung herself.

Picasso was a fantastic artist from an early age, able to paint and draw in a very realistic style even as a child. As he grew, he changed his style and experimented with many different theories and techniques. His talent and innovation brought him immense fame and fortune, and he remains one of the best know artists of the 20th century.
