    All about pablo Picasso,
    Pablo Picasso’s first word was “piz,” short of pencil in Spanish .His father Ruiz, an artist and art professor, gave him a formal education in art starting from the age of 7. By 13, Ruiz vowed to give up painting as he felt that Pablo had surpassed him. His first piece of artwork was a man riding a horse with a bullet at the age of nine. There was difficulty when he was first born as he was a weak baby so the midwife thought he was stillunborn when a doctor named Don Salvador saved him.In all his life Picasso produced about 147,800 pieces, consisting of: 13,500 paintings, 100,000 prints and engravings, 300 sculptures and ceramics and 34,000 illustrations – an impressive 78-year career.

    All about pablo picassos art!!!!!!!!!!

    His famous paintings are:The monalisa,girl befor a mirror,le reve,the old guitarist,The weeping women.
    While Picasso is best known by his last name, his full name is 25 words long.
    Picasso’s first word was ‘lapiz’, which is Spanish for pencil.
    Picasso had his first exhibit at age 13 and later quit art school so he could experiment full-time with modern art styles. He went to Paris for the first time in 1900, and in 1901 was given an exhibition at a gallery on Paris’ rue Lafitte, a street known for its prestigious art galleries.
    However, during Picasso’s long life — he died in 1973 at age 91 — he is estimated to have completed 13,500 paintings and around 100,000 prints and engravings. A comprehensive retrospective of his work and the numerous artistic traditions it spanned, is a massive undertaking

    PABLO PICASSO ✏️
    Pablo Picasso was born on October 25 1881 in Málaga. His first word was piz short for lapiz which is pencil in Spanish. He would often misbehave because he would get bored the reason for this is that what his teachers were teaching is knowledge he already knew.

    Pablo Picasso
    Born 25 of October 1881
    In all his life Picasso produced about 147,800 pieces, consisting of: 13,500 paintings, 100,000 prints and engravings, 300 sculptures and ceramics and 34,000 illustrations – an impressive 78-year career.
    Picasso was the first artist to receive a special honour exhibition at the Grand Gallery of the Louvre Museum in Paris in celebration of his 90 years. He was born an artist: his first word was “piz,” short of lápiz the Spanish word for ‘pencil.’ His father Ruiz, an artist and art professor, gave him a formal education in art starting from the age of 7. By 13, Ruiz vowed to give up painting as he felt that Pablo had surpassed him.
    At the tender young age of 9, Picasso completed his first painting: Le picador, a man riding a horse in a bullfight.
    His first major painting, an “academic” work is First Communion, featuring a portrait of his father, mother, and younger sister kneeling before an altar. Picasso was 15 when he finished it.
    Picasso signed his first contract in Paris with art dealer by the name of Pere Menach.
    He agreed to pay Picasso 150 Francs per month, which is about the equivalent of US$750 today.
    In 1909, Picasso and French artist Georges Braque co-founded an art movement known as cubism.
    Actually, it was a French art critic Louis Vauxcelles who first called it “bizarre cubiques” or cubism, after noticing that Picasso and Braque’s paintings were all “full of little cubes.”
    Periods: The periods he went through were the blue period and the gold periodsHe was a cubist which means he uses cubes in his art.
    His favourite food: ‘I love Catalan sausage and beans. ‘ He ate simply throughout his life – fresh fish, a little wine, lots of fruit and veg – no wonder he lived to the grand old age of 91. As this exhibition shows, food was his constant touchstone, in his life and in his art.The techniques he used were Engraving, drypoint, etching, and aquatint are intaglio forms of printmaking.

    In 1900, Picasso first went to Paris, the center of the European art scene. He shared lodgings with Max Jacob, a poet and journalist who took the artist under his wing. The two lived in abject poverty, sometimes reduced to burning the artist’s paintings to stay warm. His first painting is called Le Picador. Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, famous for paintings like ‘Guernica’ and for the art movement known as Cubism. His last well known self-portriat was done a little less than a year before his death, entitled Self Portrait Facing Death (June 30, 1972). There is much comentary about this piece.
