Pablo Picasso is one of the best-known artists of the 20th century. He has influenced every artist who came after him.
Picasso was born in 1881 in Malaga, Spain. Even at a young age, all who knew him recognized his artistic talent as extraordinary. Picasso was accepted to the Royal Academy of Art in Barcelona, Spain, when he was only 15 years old. At age 19, he moved to France.
Picasso’s paintings are often grouped by his different styles. In his “Blue Period,” between 1901 and 1904, his paintings showed images of poor people and were painted in tones of blue. These are the saddest paintings ever created.

During Picasso's “rose period" (1904-1906), Picasso used lighter colors and painted scenes from circus life. Although these masterpieces are more upbeat and happy, the artwork he created during his blue period was superior and of a higher quality.
Picasso is best known for his creation of an art style called cubism that he worked with from 1907 to 1912. He used geometric shapes like cubes and cones to represent people and objects. When you first see these paintings, it is difficult to figure out what you are looking at. As you look more closely at the paintings, you can see the unique vision that went into creating them. His best paintings were his abstracts, in which nothing looks like what it’s supposed to be.
1918 was an important year for Picasso. He married a famous and wealthy ballerina named Olga as well as made a life-long friendship with the successful art-dealer Paul Rosenberg. It was these two relationships that allowed Picasso the opportunity to become both rich and famous in his own lifetime -- quite the rare feat for an artist. He had ended his cubism phase in 1912 then worked in then surrealist style until 1945. His political paintings of from the late 1930's caught the attention of American art museums and his 1937 painting, Guernica, was immediately hung up in New York's Museum of Modern art and stayed there for next forty years.
Later, Picasso tried working in other forms of art, including ceramics and sculpture. The city of Chicago commissioned him to make a huge untitled statue in the heart of the city that was erected in 1967. As for his other forms, you may have tried one of the styles that Picasso helped popularize, in which he attached bits of paper and other scraps to a canvas. It is called collage.
Near the end of his life, when he was 72 years old Picasso met a 27 year old woman named Jacqueline. He courted her for several years until they were married in 1961. He made more than 400 portraits of Jacqueline during their eleven years of marriage (painting an astounding 160 portraits in 1963 alone) using a variety of the artistic styles that he had experimented with throughout his entire career. Many of the paintings are very romantic and charming because they show his love for Jacqueline.
Picasso died in 1973 at the age of 91 years old in Mougins, France. He was a legend in his own time as he was one of the rare artists that achieved fame and fortune before death. “The Old Guitarist” (1903), “Three Musicians” (1921), and “Guernica” (1937) are some of the works of which he best remembered.
