Pablo Picasso
1,016 books967 followersPablo Ruiz Picasso (October 25, 1881 - April 08, 1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer who spent most of his adult life in France.
One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore.
Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and the anti-war painting Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War.
Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a naturalistic manner through his childhood and adolescence. During the first decade of the 20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas. After 1906, the Fauvist work of the older artist Henri Matisse motivated Picasso to explore more radical styles, beginning a fruitful rivalry between the two artists, who subsequently were often paired by critics as the leaders of modern art.
Picasso's output, especially in his early career, is often periodized. While the names of many of his later periods are debated, the most commonly accepted periods in his work are the Blue Period (1901–1904), the Rose Period (1904–1906), the African-influenced Period (1907–1909), Analytic Cubism (1909–1912), and Synthetic Cubism (1912–1919), also referred to as the Crystal period. Much of Picasso's work of the late 1910s and early 1920s is in a neoclassical style, and his work in the mid-1920s often has characteristics of Surrealism. His later work often combines elements of his earlier styles.
Exceptionally prolific throughout the course of his long life, Picasso achieved universal renown and immense fortune for his revolutionary artistic accomplishments, and became one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art.

Je connais tous les lieus où la colombe loge
Et le plus naturel est la tête de l’homme.
Ich kenne alle Orte wo die Taube wohnt
Und der natürlichste ist der Kopf des Menschen. (I)
Mon bonheur c’est notre bonheur
Mon soleil c’est notre soleil
Nous nous partageons la vie
L’espace et le temps sont à tous.
Mein Glück das ist unser Glück
Meine Sonne das ist unsere Sonne
Wir teilen uns das Leben
Der Raum und die Zeit gehören allen. (XVIII)
Das Büchlein umfasst 29 Zeichnungen, die Picasso an einem einzigen Tag, dem 05.12.1950 anlässlich des 30jährigen Bestehens der Kommunistischen Partei Frankreichs geschaffen hat. Sie zeigen eine Taube und ein Frauengesicht, die mehr und mehr miteinander verschmelzen. 1951 schrieb Picassos Freund Paul Éluard kurze Sinnsprüche zu den Bildern.
