Pablo Picasso was born the son of an art teacher and not surprisingly, displayed enormous talents at a very early age. He was a painter, a sculptor, a ceramist and a graphic artist.
Pablo Picasso, 1881-1973, Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and ceramicist worked in France. His early works show the influence of Toulouse-Lautrec. His production is usually described in series of overlapping periods. In his melancholy blue period such works as The Old Guitarist depicted, in blue tones, the world of the poor. A lighter palette and subjects from the circus characterize his rose period. In 1907, Picasso painted Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, the most significant work in the development of cubism and abstraction, and a herald of analytic cubism. In the synthetic phase of cubism (after 1912), his forms became larger and more representational. In the 1920's he also introduced collage. His second landmark work was Guernica, an impassioned condemnation of war and fascism. In his later years, Picasso turned to creations of fantasy and comic invention. Working consistently in sculpture, ceramics, and the graphic arts, he continued to explore his personal vision until his death at age 93.
