Pablo
Picasso was born more than 120 years ago (1881) in Malaga, Spain.
He
is famous for being the co-founder of cubism which is a style of painting where objects of the painting
subject are broken up and re-painted in an abstract form.
When
Pablo was age 7 his father (who was also a painter) gave him artistic training
in figure-drawing and oil painting.
Later
on Pablo studied art in Madrid and then went to Paris when he was about 19. In
1900 Paris was considered the art capital of Europe.
Picasso's work is divided
into periods:
- The Blue Period (1901-1904), which were sad
looking paintings using blue and blue-green colours.
- The Rose Period (1905-1907), which was a more
happy style with orange and pink colours
- The African-influenced Period (1908-1909)
- The Cubism Period (1909- 1919)
He died (heart attack) in
1973 aged 91.
