Pablo Picasso was born on 25th of October in
Malaga.
In 1937 The Spanish Civil War inspires one
of his most famous paintings ‘Guernica’
following the German air attack on the town. At age fourteen, he passed the entrance exams at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona where he was more advanced than most of the senior students in the advanced classes. Both his first two large oil paintings, were accepted into exhibitions around Spain and he then passed the entrance exams at the Royal Academy of San Fernando but left after a couple of months. Picasso was influenced by his father's artwork in his early years. Paul Cezanne's paintings inspired Picasso to experiment with perspectives and begin Cubism with Georges Braque.
What made Picasso famous i think is the fact that his work was different. He was basically responsible for a lot of the movements that came after. He influenced people like Duchamp and other Avant Guarde artists. Keep in mind he perfected cubism and created the collage technique, which eventually lead to abstract art. Things we look at now as ordinary were things he did first. Picasso influenced minimalism also. For the time, his work was revolutionary because not many people were painting like him and also his work was controversial. However I was asked to create a painting in Pablo Picasso style which is cubism. It was a bit hard at the begging, as it was the first time I have done this kind of work. I had to paint a face using Picasso's technique. The most important paint a face so its actually looks like a face. I firstly sketched it to help me do this task. I found it interesting, because I have done some research about Pablo Picasso before, but it was the first time I was using Cubism, it was a bit of challenge. In my opinion I have done well, but this in not one of my favorite techniques.
