The point in his relationship with the artist Francoise was delivered by herself, learning about his infidelity.
Unlike many beloved masters, Francoise lived, did not go crazy and did not commit suicide.

To the "Blue" (1901-1904), the period refers to the work created in the interval between 1901 and 1904.
Gray-blue and blue-green deep cold colors, colors of sadness and despondency, constantly
present in them. Picasso called the blue "color of all colors."
Frequent plots of these paintings are emaciated mothers with children, tramp, beggars, blind.

long and carefully, as I did not work before this over our own pictures.
The first reaction of the public is shock. Matisse was in rabies. Even the majority of friends did not take this job.
"Such a feeling that you wanted to feed us a pacles or to drink gasoline," -
an artist Georges marriage, a new friend Picasso. Scandalous picture whose name gave

in Vauvenargues, in the south of France.
He was 91 years old. Shortly before the death distinguished by a prophetic gift
the artist said:
"My death will become shipwreck.
When a large ship dies, everything that is around him is delayed in a funnel. "

So it happened. His grandson Pabito asked to allow him to attend the funeral,
but the last wife of the artist Jacqueline Rock responded with refusal.
On the day of the funeral, Pabito drank a bottle with Decoloran - discoloration chemical
liquid. Parablato failed.
He was buried in the same grave in the cemetery in Cannes, where the ashes of Olga rests.

Began long battle for inheritance

Marina Picasso, who inherited the famous mansion of the grandfather of the King Residence in Cannes,
lives there with adult daughters and son and three adopted children-Vietnamese children.
She does not make any difference between them and has already made a testament for which
all its huge state after death will be divided into five equal parts.
Marina created the foundation called her name, which built in the suburb of Ho Chip
dress from 24 houses for 360 Vietnamese orphans.

"Love for children," the Marina emphasizes, "I inherited from my grandmother.
Olga was the only person from the entire clan Picasso, who belonged to us, grandchildren,
with tenderness and attention. And your book "Children living on the edge of the world" I am in many ways
he wrote to restore her good name.

It is unlikely that there is a person on the planet who is not familiar with the name Pablo Picasso. The founder of cubism and artist of many styles influenced the 20th century on the visual art of not only Europe, but also the whole world.

Artist Pablo Picasso: childhood and years of study

One of the brightest was born in Malaga, in a house on Merced Square, in 1881, October 25. Now there is a museum and foundation named after P. Picasso. Following the Spanish tradition in baptism, the parents gave a boy a long enough name, which is the alternation of the names of the saints and the closest and revered in the family of relatives. Ultimately, he knows the first and last one. The last name Pablo decided to take the maternal, considering the fatherly too simple. Talent and drawing to drawing the boy manifested themselves from early childhood. The first and very valuable lessons was presented to him by the Father, who was also an artist. Called his José Rus. He wrote his first serious picture at eight years - "Picador". We can safely argue that it was from her the work of Pablo Picasso. The Father of the Future Artist received an offer to the work of the teacher in La Coruna in 1891, and soon the family moved to the north of Spain. In the same place, Pablo was trained at the local art school during the year. Then the family moved to one of the most beautiful cities - Barcelona. The young Picasso at that time was 14 years old, and he was too young in order to study in La Lonchu (School of Fine Arts). However, the Father was able to ensure that he was allowed to admire the entrance exams on a competitive basis, with whom he coped brilliantly. After another four years, parents decided to arrange him for the best at that time the advanced Art School - San Fernando in Madrid. Studying at the Academy quickly bored with young tissue, in its classic canons and rules it was closely and even boring. Therefore, he devoted more time to the Museum of Prado and the study of his collections, and a year later he returned to Barcelona. To the early period of his creativity, paintings were written in 1986: "Self-portrait" Picasso, the "first communion" (on it the sister of the artist Lola), "Portrait of Mother" (in the photo below).

During his stay in Madrid, he first committed where he studied all the museums and the painting of the greatest masters. Subsequently, he will come to this world art center repeatedly, and in 1904 it will be moving finally.

"Blue" period

This time interval can be viewed exactly at this time begins to manifest in the work of Picasso, its individuality, still subject to unauthorized influence. Famous fact: The talent of creative natur exhibits itself as brightly as possible in difficult life. This is exactly what happened to Pablo Picasso, whose works are now known to the whole world. The takeoff was provoked and occurred after a long depression caused by the death of a close friend of Carlos Casaagemas. In 1901, 64 artists work were presented at the exhibition organized by Vollarder, but at that time they were still full of sensuality and brightness, the influence of impressionists was clearly felt. In his legitimate rights, the Blue "period of his work took gradually, showing himself with rigid contours of figures and loss of three-dimensionity of the image, caring from the classical laws of the artistic perspective. The palette of paints on his canvases is becoming increasingly monotonous, the focus is on blue. The beginning of the period can be considered the "Portrait of Jaime Sabartes" and Self-portrait Picasso, written in 1901.

Pictures "Blue" period

The key words as loneliness, fear, wines, pain became key during this period. In 1902, he will return again to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbut it will not be able to stay in it. The intense situation in the capital of Catalonia, poverty on all sides and social injustice is poured into folk unrest, gradually engaged not only in all Spain, but also Europe. Probably, this state of affairs influenced the artist who works fruitful and extremely much on this year. The homeland is created by the masterpieces of the "blue" period: "Two sisters (date)", "old Jew with a boy", "tragedy" (photo of the canvas above), "Life", where the image of the deceased Casaagemas once again arises. In 1901, a painting "Lover of Absinthe" was also written. It traces the impact of the popular "vicious" characters characteristic of French art at that time. The theme of absinthe sounds in many pictures. The work of Picasso, among other things, is full of drama. Especially obviously a hypertrophied woman's hand rushes, which she seems to be protected. Currently, the absinthe lover is kept in the Hermitage, hitting there from the private and very impressive collection of Picasso works (51 works) S. I. Schukin after the revolution.

As soon as it appears the opportunity to again go without hesitation decides to use it and leaves Spain in the spring of 1904. It is there that he will face new interests, feelings and impressions, which will give the beginning of the new stage of his creativity.

"Pink" period

In the work of Picasso, this stage lasted relatively long - from 1904 (autumn) until the end of the 1906th - and was not completely homogeneous. Most of the patterns of the period are marked by the bright range of paints, the appearance of oath, pearl-gray, red-pink tones. Characterized by the appearance and subsequent dominance of new artist for creativity - actors, circuschi and acrobats, athletes. Of course, the overwhelming majority of the material provided him with Circus Medrano, which in those years was located at the foot of Montmartre. Bright theatrical furnishings, costumes, behavior, variety of types as if P. Picasso was returned to the world, albeit transformed, but real forms and volumes, natural space. Images in its pictures were again sensual and filled with life, brightness in contrast to the characters of the "blue" stage of creativity.

Pablo Picasso: works of "Pink" period

The pictures that marked the beginning of the new period were first exhibited at the end of winter in 1905 in the Seruralary Gallery - this is "sitting nude" and "Actor". One of the recognized masterpieces of the "pink" period is the "family of comedians" (in the photo above). The canvas has impressive dimensions - in height and width of more than two meters. Figures of circus are depicted against the background of the blue sky, it is believed that Harlequin on the right side is Picasso himself. All characters are in the statics, and between them is not observed any inner intimacy, each was sought in the inner loneliness - the topic of the entire "pink" period. In addition, it is worth noting the following work Pablo Picasso: "Woman in a shirt", "Toilet", "Boy, lead horse", "Acrobats. Mother and son "," girl with a goat. " All of them show the viewer beauty and rare artist serenity for paintings. The new impetus in creativity happened at the end of 1906, when Picasso traveled in Spain and found himself in a small village in Pyrenees.

African period of creativity

With the archaic African art P. Picasso first encountered the thematic exhibition of the Torocadero Museum. It was impressed by the pagan idols of primitive form, exotic masks and figurines that embody the great power of nature and distanced from the smallest details. The ideology of the artist coincided with this powerful promise, and as a result he began to simplify his heroes, making them like stonestorms, monumental and sharp. However, the first job in the direction of this stylistry appeared in 1906 - this is a portrait of the work of Pablo Picasso writer, he rewrite a picture of 80 times and has already completely dispersed in the ability to embody her image in a classic style. This moment can be rightfully called transitional from the following nature to the deformation of the form. It is enough to look at such canvas as "nude woman", "dance with bedspreads", "DRIADA", "Friendship", "Bust of the Sailor", "Self-portrait".

But perhaps the most striking example of the African stage of Creativity Picasso is the film "Avignon girls" (in the photo above), over which the Master worked for about a year. She was crowned this stage of the artist's creative path and largely identified the fate of art as a whole. For the first time, the canvas saw the light only thirty years after his writing and became an open door to the world of avant-garde. Paris's bohemian circle literally split into two camps: "For" and "against". At the moment, the picture is kept in the Museum of Modern Art of the city of New York.

Cubism in the work of Picasso

The problem of uniqueness and image accuracy remained in the first place in European visual arts up to the moment when cubism broke into it. Many consider incentive for its development to be the question that arose among artists: "Why draw?" A reliable image of what you see, at the beginning of the 20th century it was possible to teach almost anyone, besides, it was literally on the heels there was a photo that threatened entirely and completely outstretten everything else. Spectatical images become not only believable, but also available, easily replicated. Cubism Pablo Picasso in this case reflects the individuality of the Creator, refusing the plausible image of the outside world and opening completely new opportunities, the boundaries of perception.

Early work includes: "Pot, glass and book", "bathing", "a bouquet of flowers in a gray jug", "Bread and a vase with fruit on the table", etc. In the canvases, it is clearly traced, as the artist's style changes and acquires All over abstract traits by the end of the period (1918-1919). For example, "Harlequin", "Three Musicians", "Still Life with a Guitar" (in the photo above). Association by the spectators of creativity of the master with abstractionism at all was not satisfied with Picasso, he was important to the emotional promise of paintings, their hidden meaning. Ultimately, the cubism-created cubism, created by him, stopped gradually inspiring the artist and wonder, opening the road to new trends in creativity.

Classic period

The second decade of the 20th century was quite complicated for Picasso. So, 1911 was marked by history with stolen statuettes from the Louvre, which put the artist not in the best light. In 1914, it turned out that, even having lived so many years in the country, for France Picasso to fight in the First World War is not ready that he spread it with many friends. And next year, his beloved Marcel Umber died.

For the return of a more realistic in the work of Pablo Picasso, whose works were filled with newly readability, figurity and artistic logic, influenced many external factors. Including a trip to Rome, where he penetrates antique art, as well as communication with Dyagilev ballet troupe and acquaintance with Olga Khokhlova ballerina, which soon became the second wife of the artist. The beginning of the new period can be considered its portrait of 1917, which in some way was experimental. The Russian ballet Pablo Picasso not only inspired to create new masterpieces, but also gave a beloved and long-awaited son. The most famous work of the period: "Olga Khokhlov" (in the photo above), Piero, "Still Life with Jug and Apples", "Sleeping Peasants", "Mother and Child", "Women, Running on the Beach", "Three Graces" .

Surrealism

The separation of creativity is nothing but the desire to decompose on the shelves and squeeze it into certain (stylistic, temporary) frames. However, the work of Pablo Picasso, which is decorated with the best museums and the galleries of the world, this approach can be called very conditional. If you follow the chronology, then the period when the artist was close to surrealism, falls on 1925-1932. It is absolutely not surprising that at every stage of creativity Master's brush attended Muz, and when O. Khokhlova wished to recognize himself on his canvases, he turned to neoclassicism. However, creative people are inconsistently, and soon Picasso entered the young and very beautiful Maria Teresa Walter, which at the time of dating was only 17 years old. She was prepared by the role of mistress, and in 1930 the artist bought the castle in Normandy, who became a house for her, and for him - a workshop. Maria Teresa was a faithful companion, standing by creative and lovely throwing creators, supporting friendly correspondence up to the death of Pablo Picasso. Works of the period of surrealism: "Dance", "Woman in a chair" (in the photo below), "Bathrower", "Nude on the beach", "Sleep", etc.

World War II

Sympathy Picasso during hostilities in Spain in 1937 belonged to Republicans. When the Italian and German aviation destroyed the Italian and German aviation - the political and cultural center of Baskov - Pablo Picasso City, lying in the ruins, depicted on a hugely named cloth literally in two months. He literally covered horror from the threat, which hung over the whole of Europe, which could not not affect creativity. Emotions were not expressed not directly, but embodied in the tonality, her gloominess, bitterness and sarcamum.

After the war came rare, and the world came to relative equilibrium, restoring everything that was destroyed, the work of Picasso also gained happier and bright colors. His canvases written in 1945-1955, possess the Mediterranean color, very atmospheric and partly idealistic. At the same time, he begins to work with ceramics, creating a variety of decorative jugs, dishes, plates, statuettes (photo is presented above). Works that were created in the last 15 years of life are very uneven on style and quality.

One of the largest artists of the twentieth century - Pablo Picasso - died at the age of 91 at his villa in France. He was buried near the castle who belonged to him.

The most productive painter in the history of mankind.

He also became the most successful artist, earning more than a billion dollars for his life.

He became the founder of modern avant-garde art, starting his way with realistic painting, discovering cubism and giving tribute to surrealism.

Great Spanish painter, founder cubism. For his long life (92 years old), the artist created such a huge number of paintings, engravings, sculptures, ceramic miniatures, which is not amenable to accurate counting. According to various sources, the legacy of Picasso ranges from 14 to 80 thousand works of artistic art.

Picasso is unique. It is fundamentally one, for the genius is loneliness.

On October 25, 1881, a joyful event occurred in the family of José Ruiso and Maria Picasso Lopez. Their firstborn, a boy, who was called in Spanish tradition Long and Vitiyevo - Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomussed Maria de Los Remedios Crspinian de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz and Picasso. Or just - Pablo.

Pregnancy was severe - Slender Maria barely endowed the baby. And the childbirth and were absolutely difficult. The boy was born dead ...

So I counted the doctor, Senior Brother José Salvador Ruiz. He took the baby, examined him and immediately understood - failure. The boy did not breathe. Dr. slapped him, turned down the head. Nothing helped nothing. Dr. Salvador glance hinted the obstetrician so that he fell a dead child, and lit. Club of SIZO Cigar smoke has shown the murdered baby's face. He convulsively strain and shouted.

It happened a little miracle. A stillborn child turned out to be alive.

In the house on the Malagskaya Square of Merced, where Picasso was born, now houses the artist's house-museum and the foundation that has called his name.

His father was a teacher of drawing in the art school of Malagia and part-time was the keeper of the local art museum.

Jose after Malaga, moving with the family in the town of La Coruna, received a place in the school of fine arts, teaching children painting. He became the first and, perhaps, the main teacher of his ingenious son, giving mankind of the most outstanding artist of the 20th century.

About Picasso Mother We know little.

Interesting the fact that Mother Maria lived to the triumph of his son.

Three years after the birth of the firstborn, Maria gave birth to Lol's girl, and another three-master cumshot.

Picasso was a very spoiled boy.

He was allowed to do a positive everything, he almost died in the first minutes of his life.

At seven years, the boy was given to the usual high school, but he studied disgustingly. Read and count, of course, he learned, but he wrote badly and wrote with mistakes (it was preserved for life). But I was not interested in anything but drawing. He was kept in school only from respect for the Father.

Even before school, the father began to let him in his workshop. Gave pencils and paper.

Jose gladly noticed that his son had a congenital sense of form. He had a fantastic memory.

At eight years, the baby began to draw independently. The fact that the father did the week, the son managed to complete in two hours.

The first picture written Pablo, preserved to this day. Picasso never parted with this canvas, written on a small wooden board with paternal paints. This is "Picador" of 1889.

Pablo Picasso - "Picador" 1889

In 1894, his father took Pablo from school, and translated the boy to his lyceum - a school of fine arts in the same Coruna.

If Pablo has no good assessment in the usual school, then in the school of the father - not a single bad. He studied not just good and brilliantly.

Barcelona ... Catalonia

In 1895, in the summer, the family of Riesov moved to the capital of Catalonia. Pablo was only 13 years old. Father wanted the Son to study at the Barcelona Academy of Arts. Pablo, another boy, filed documents as an applicant. And immediately received a refusal. Pablo was younger than four years old students for four years. Father had to look for old dating. From respect to this honored person, the adoptive commission of the Barcelona Academy decided to admit a boy to participate in the receiving exams.

In just a week, Pablo wrote several paintings and fulfilled the task of the Commission - painted several graphic works in the classical style. When he pulled out and unfolded these sheets in front of professors from painting, members of the commission of numbness from surprise. The decision was unanimous. The boy accepted into the Academy. And immediately at the senior course. He did not need to study to draw - before the commission was sitting quite formed by a professional artist.

The name "Pablo Picasso" appeared precisely during the period of study at the Barcelona Academy. Pablo signed his first works by his own name - Ruiz Blisko. But then the problem arose - Jewish did not want his paintings to confuse with the paintings of the father José Rus Blasso. And he took the surname of the mother - Picasso. And in this there was a tribute of respect and love for Mother Mary.

Picasso never talked about the mother. But he loved and respected his mother. He painted his father in the image of a doctor in the picture "Knowledge and Mercy". Portrait of a Mother - picture "Portrait of the Mother of the Artist" in 1896.

But even more interest is the picture "Lola, Sister Picasso". She was written in 1899, when Pablo was influenced by impressionists.

In the summer of 1897, a change was made in the family of José Ruisa. An important letter came from Malaga - the authorities decided to open the art museum again and was invited to his director of the authoritative man José Ruisa. In 1897 in June. Pablo finished learning at the Academy and received a diploma of a professional artist. And after that, the family moved into the path.

Picasso did not like Malaga. For him, Malaga was as a provincial terrible hole. He wanted to study. Then the family council, in which the uncle participated, was decided - Pablo will go to Madrid to try to enter the country's most prestigious art school - to the Academy of San Fernando. Uncle Salvador volted to finance the training of the nephew.

He entered the Academy of San Fernando without much difficulty. Picasso simply was out of competition. At first he received not bad money from Uncle. The reluctance to learn what Pablo already knew without lessons of professors, led to the fact that in a few months he threw his studies. The receipts of money from uncle immediately stopped, and difficult times came for Pablo. He was then 17 years old, and by the spring of 1898 he decided to go to Paris.

Paris struck him. It became clear - it is necessary to live here. But without money, he could not stay in Paris for a long time and in June 1898 Pablo returned to Barcelona.

Here he managed to remove a small workshop in Old Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwrote several paintings and could even sell. But for a long time it could not continue. And again wanted to return to Paris. And even convinced her friends - artists Carlos Casaagemas and Khaima Sabartes to go with him.

In Barcelona, \u200b\u200bPablo often looked into the hospital for the poor Santa Cla, where they treated prostitutes. His friend worked here. Hooking a white bathrobe. Picasso survived for hours on inspections, quickly making pencil sketches in notepad. Subsequently, these sketches will turn into pictures.

The end of the ends of Picasso moved to Paris.

At the station Barcelona, \u200b\u200bhis father was accompanied by his father. To the goodbye, the son presented his self portrait, on which he drawing "I - the king!".

In Paris, he lived poorly and hungry. But the services of Picasso were all Museums of Paris. Then he was carried away by the work of impressionists - Delacroix, Toulouse-Lotrek, Van Gogh, Gauguen.

He became interested in the art of the Phoenicians and the ancient Egyptians, Japanese engraving and gothic sculpture.

In Paris, he has a different life. Available women, drunk talks with friends for midnight, weeks without bread and the most important opium.

The breaking occurred at one point. Once in the morning he went to the next room, where his friend Kasaagemas lived. Carlos lay on the bed, scattering hands to the sides. The revolver was lying around. Carlos was dead. Later it turned out that the cause of suicide was narcotic breakdown.

The shock of Picasso was so great that he immediately left the hobby opium and never returned to drugs. The death of a friend turned the life of Picasso. Having lived two years in Paris, he returned to Barcelon again.

Cheerful, temperamental, raging the funny energy Pablo suddenly turned into a pensive melancholic. They made a friend forced to think about the meaning of life. On a self portraight of 1901, a pale man is looking with stupid eyes. Pictures of this period - everywhere depressed, decay forces, you see everywhere these tired eyes.

This period, Picasso himself called the blue - "color of all colors". On a blue background of death, Picasso paints paints with bright colors. Two years spent in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bhe worked for an easel. Almost forgot his youth hikes on brothels.

The "ironing room" This picture was written by Picasso in 1904. Tired fragile woman leaned on an ironing board. Weak thin hands. This is a picture - anthem hopelessness of life.

He reached the vertex of skill at a very early age. But he continued to search, experiment. In 25 years he was still a novice artist.

One of the striking paintings of the "Blue Period" is "Life" of 1903. Picasso himself did not like this picture, considered it not completed and found too similar to the work of El Greek - and after all, Pablo did not recognize the secondaryness. The picture presents three times, three periods of life - past, present and future.

In January 1904, Picasso goes back to Paris again. This time is determined to secure here in any way. And in no case return to Spain - until he succeeds in the capital of France.

He was close to his "Pink Period".

One of his Paris friends was Ambruz Vollar. Having organized the first exhibition of work Pablo in 1901, this man soon became for Picasso "Guardian Angel." Vollar was a collector of painting and very significantly, by a successful trader paintings.

Little to charm the volley. Picasso provided itself with a faithful source of income.

In 1904, Picasso met and began his way with the Guyoma Apolliner.

In the same 1904, Picasso met the first real love of his life - Fernanda Olivier.

It is not known that he attracted Fernandu in this dense shot down by the Spaniard (Picasso's growth was only 158 centimeters - was one of the "great shorts"). Their love flourished rapidly and magnificently. High Fernanda was crazy about his Pablo.

Fernanda Olivier became the first permanent model of Picasso. Since 1904, he simply could not work if there was no female nature before him. Both were 23 years old. They lived easily, fun and very poorly. Fernanda turned out to be a nicuddy housewife. And this Picasso could not stand in his women, and their civil marriage rolled under the slope.

"Girl on the Ball" - this picture written by Picasso in 1905, specialists in painting are attributed to the transitional period in the artist's work - between "Blue" and "Pink".

At these years, the Circus Medrano became a favorite place in Paris for Picasso. He loved the circus. Because - circuschi, people of unhappy fate, professional wanderers, homeless tramps, forced all her life to portray fun.

Nude figures on the picasso canvases of 1906 are calm and even peaceful. They no longer look like - the theme of loneliness. Anxiety before the future went to the background.

Several works of 1907, including the "self-portrait", are made in a special "African" technique. And in the very time of passionateness by masks, specialists from the field of painting will be called by the "African period". Step by step Picasso advanced to cubism.

"Avignon girls" - on this picture, Pikaso worked especially focusing. For a whole year, he kept a cloth under a dense cape, not allowing her to look at his even Fernanda.

A brothel was depicted in the picture. In 1907, when everyone saw a picture, a serious scandal flared up. The picture was watched by all. Operations in one voice said that Picasso's picture is nothing but a QC publisher over art.

In early 1907, in the midst of the scandal around the "Avignon maiden", an artist Georges marriage came to him in the gallery. The marriage and Picasso immediately became friends and took up the theoretical development of cubism. The main idea was to achieve the effect of a surround image using intersecting planes and constructs with the means of geometric figures.

This period fell in 1908-1909 years. Pictures written by Picasso during this period, there are still little difference from the same "Avignon maidens." On the first paintings in the style of cubism, buyers and admirers were found.

In 1909-1910, the period of the so-called "analytical" cubism was occurring. Picasso departed Cesannovskaya soft paints. Geometric shapes decreased in size, the images took chaotic character, and the paintings themselves became more difficult.

The final period of the formation of cubism is called "synthetic". He fell in 1911-1917.

By the summer of 1909, Pablo, who was the thirtieth year, rich. It was in 1909 that there was so much money that he opened his own bank account, and by the fall was able to afford a new accommodation, and a new workshop.

Eva Marcel became the first woman in the life of Picasso, who left him herself, without waiting for her artist himself. In 1915, she died from Chathek. With the death of adorable Eva Picasso, the ability to work for a long time. Depression lasted several months.

In 1917, the circle of communication Picasso expanded - he met an amazing person by the poet and the artist Jean Cokto.

Then Kokto convinced Picasso to go with him to Italy, Rome to fade and forget sadness.

In Rome Picasso saw the girl and instantly fell in love. It was the Russian dancer ballet Olga Khokhlov.

"Portrait of Olga in the chair" - 1917

In 1918, Picasso made a proposal. Together they went to Malaga, so that Olga met with Picasso's parents. Parents gave good. In early February, Pablo and Olga went to Paris. Here on February 12, 1918, they became husband and wife.

Their marriage lasted a little over a year and gave a crack. This time the reason was most likely. In the difference of temperaments. After making sure the husband's wrongness, they no longer lived together, but still Picasso did not divorce. Olga was left the spouse of the artist, even if formally, until his death in 1955.

In 1921, Olga gave birth to a son, which Paulo called or just Paul.

Surrealism Pablo Picasso gave 12 years of creative life, periodically returning to cubism.

Following the principles of surrealism, formulated by Andre Breton, Picasso, however, always walked his way.

"Dance" - 1925

A strong impression leaves the very first picture of Picasso, written in a surrealistic style in 1925 under the influence of the artistic creativity of Breton and his supporters. This is a painting "Dance". In the work, which Picasso designated a new period in his creative life, a lot of aggression and pain.

It was January 1927. Pablo was already very rich and famous. Once on the Seine Embankment, he saw a girl and fell in love. The girl was called Maria Teresa Walter. They were shared a huge difference in age - nineteen years. He took her apartment close to her home. And soon wrote only Maria Teresa.

Maria Teresa Walter

In the summer when Pablo exported a family to the Mediterranean Sea, Maria-Teresa went afterwards. Pablo settled her next to the house. Picasso asked Olga divorce. But Olga refused, because the day after day Picasso became even richer.

Picasso managed to buy for Mary Teresa Castle Baelhel, in which actually moved himself.

In the autumn of 1935, Maria-Teresa gave birth to him the daughter called Maya.

The girl was recorded in the name of an unknown father. Picasso swear that immediately after the divorce admits a daughter, but when Olga did not become, he did not restrain his promise.

"Maya with doll" - 1938

Maria-Teresa Walter became the main inspirational. Picasso for several years. He dedicated her first sculptures over which he worked in a boorhel castle during the 1930-1934.

"Mary Teresa Walter", 1937

Picked by surrealism, Picasso fulfilled its first sculptural compositions in the same surrealistic vein.

The Spanish war for Picasso coincided with a personal tragedy - two weeks before her, Mother Maria died. Having buried her, Picasso lost the main thread, connecting him from his homeland.

There are a tiny town called Gernik in the country of Basque in the north of Spain. On May 1, 1937, German aviation raided this city and practically erased him from the face of the Earth. The news of the death of Gernik shook the planet. And soon this shock was repeated when the Picasso can appeared at the World Exhibition in Paris under the name "Gernik".

"GERNIKA", 1937

According to the exposure to the viewer with "Gernik", not a single picturesque can be compared.

In the fall of 1935, Picasso was sitting at the street cafe at Montmartre. Here he saw the Dora Mahar. And ...

It took quite a bit of time, and they found themselves in the general bed. Dora was a serb. They separated the war.

When the Germans began the invasion of France, a great outcome occurred. From Paris to Spain, Portugal, artists, writers, poets moved to Algeria and America. Not everyone managed to escape, many died ... Picasso did not go anywhere. He was at home and spit wanted on Hitler and on his Nazis. It's amazing that he was not touched. It is still surprising that Adolf Hitler himself was a fan of his work.

In 1943, Picasso became close to the Communists, and in 1944 announced that he enters into the Communist Party of France. Picasso was awarded Stalin (in 1950). And then the Lenin Prize (in 1962).

At the end of 1944, Picasso went to the sea, south of France. In 1945, he found Dor Mahar. It turned out to be looking for his whole war. Picasso bought her a cozy house here, in the south of France. And announced that everything is over between them. Disappointment was so great that the Dora took the words Pablo as a tragedy. Soon she suffered a reason and landed into a psychiatric clinic. There she lived the rest of days.

In the summer of 1945, Pablo was briefly returned to Paris, here I saw Francoazuas lived and immediately fell in love. In 1947, Pablo and Francoise moved to the south of France in Valoris. Soon Pablo learned the joyful news - Francoise is waiting for a child. In 1949, the son of Picasso - Claude appeared. And a year later, Francão gave birth to a girl who gave the name of Paloma.

But Picasso was not Picasso if the family relationship lasted for a long time. They already started quarrels. And suddenly Francoise went quietly, it was in the summer of 1953. Because of her care, Picasso began to feel an old man.

In 1954, fate brought Pablo Picasso with his last companion, which at the end of the Great Painter will be his wife. It was Jacqueline Rock. Picasso was older Jacqueline for the whole ... 47 years old. At the time of their acquaintance, she was only 26 years old. He is 73.

Three years after the death of Olga Picasso, I decided to buy a big castle in which it would be possible to spend the rest of the days along with Jacqueline. He chose the castle of Verveng on the slope of the Saint Victoria Mountain, which in the south of France.

In 1970, an event was held, which became its main award in these last years. The city authorities Barcelona appealed to the artist with a request to give permission to open the museum of his picturesque work. It was the first Picasso Museum. The second - in Paris - opened after his death. In 1985, the Paris Hotel "Sale" was turned into the Picasso Museum.

In the last years of his life, he suddenly began to rapidly lose his hearing and vision. Following the memory of the memory. Then they refused legs. By the end of 1972, he was completely blind. Jacqueline has always been near. She loved him very much. No moan, no complaint, nor tears.

April 8, 1973 - on this day it was not. According to the will of Picasso, his dust was buried next to the castle of Vingurang ...

Picasso parents

Perhaps the most famous artist, whose ridiculous long name has become nominated, was born in October 1881 in the city of Malaga, Spain. The family had three children - the boy Pablo and his sisters Lola and Concepcion. Father Pablo, José Riza Blasko, worked as a professor at the school of fine arts. About the mother Picasso is known very little: Donna Maria was a simple woman. However, Picasso himself often mentioned it in his interview. For example, he recalled that his mother, discovering his extraordinary talent for knitting, said the words that he remembered for life: "Son, if you go to the soldiers, you will become a general. If you leave the monastery, you will come back from there dad." Nevertheless, as ironically celebrated the artist, "I decided to go to the artists and became Pablo Picasso."

Childhood Picasso

Despite the fact that the school performance of Picasso left much to be desired, he demonstrated unique skills in drawing, and at 13 years old could compete with his father. José often locked it in a room with white walls and lattices as a punishment for bad studies. With his characteristic irony, Picasso later told that he gave him great pleasure to sit in a cage: "I always had a notebook and pencil into the camera. I sat on a bench and painted. I could sit there forever, sit and draw."

Start of a creative path

The future legend of art art for the first time declared his claim for genius when the Picasso family moved to Barcelona. At the age of 16, he entered the Royal Academy of St. Fernanda. The examiners were shocked when Pablo per day passed the introductory tests calculated for a whole month. But soon the teenager was disappointed in the local education system, which, in his opinion, was too looked at the classics. " Picasso began walking classes and wander through the streets of Barcelona, \u200b\u200balong the way, making sketches of buildings. In his free time, he acquainted with Bloody Barcelona. At that time, all famous artists were going to the cafe "Four Cat", where Picasso became regulars. His inimitable charisma earned him a wide range of connections, and already in 1901 he organized the first exhibition of his paintings.

Cubism, Blue and Pink Picasso Periods

The segment between 1901 and 1904 is known as the blue Picasso period. In the works of Pablo Picasso, the times of the dark blue tones were dominated, and melancholic topics, which accurately reflecting his mental state - the artist was in a severe depression that signed his creative gusts. This period was marked by two outstanding paintings Old guitarist (1903) and life (1903).

Reproduction Pablo Picket Picasso "Beggar with a boy"

In the second half of 1904 there is a radical change of paradigm of his creativity. The canvas of the pink period are filled with pink and red paints, and the colors are generally much more gentle, thinner and delicate. The archetype of the pink period is the picture of La Famille de Saltimbanques (1905).

In the genre of cubism Picasso worked since 1907. This direction is characterized by using geometric shapes that crush real objects on primitive figures. "Avignon girls" is the first significant work of the cubic period of Picasso. On this floor of the person depicted people are visible simultaneously in the profile and in the face. In the future, Picasso adhered to exactly this approach, continuing to crush the world around individual atoms.

Picture "Three Women" by artist P. Picasso

Picasso and women

Picasso was not only an outstanding artist, but also a rather famous Donjun. He was married twice, but had the countless number of connections with women of the most different level and morality. Picasso himself summed up his attitude towards the female floor as follows: "Women are cars for suffering. I share women into two types: lovers and rags for wiping legs." It is not known whether the open contempt of Picasso is connected to the beautiful sex with the fact that two of the seven of the most important women of the artist committed suicide, and the third died for the fourth year of living together.

The indisputable fact remains that Picasso has not been tied to any of dozens or perhaps hundreds of mistresses and wives, but actively used them, including financially. Among his legal wives was an ambitious Soviet dancer Olga Khokhlov. Marriage with an influential woman did not prevent him from raising relationships on the side. So, with a young mistress, Maar Picasso was acquainted with the bar when she spontaneous her fingers in bloody mess, trying to get a knife between the fingers. It was deeply impressed by Picasso, and he lived with an expensive for a few more years in secret from Khokhlova.

Peace disorders Picasso

Throughout his life and even after death, Picasso attributed a whole bouquet of mental illness. However, it is not necessary to be a psychiatrist. Excessively overestimated self-esteem Picasso, a sense of absolute superiority and uniqueness, and extreme egocentrism correspond to the criteria for narcissistic personality disorder described in the international classification of diseases (ICD) of the fourth edition. Schizophrenic status Picasso is seriously doubted by the medical community, as it is not possible to diagnose in the pictures of such a complex disease, but it is relifically known that Picasso suffered a heavy dyslexia form - a violation of the ability to read and write while maintaining normal intelligence .. Picasso picture "Algerian women "- the most expensive picture ever coming from the auction. In 2015 it was purchased for 179 million dollars.

Picasso hated led from fear to damage his hands. His luxurious Limousine Hispano-Suiza has always been ruled by a personal driver.

Picasso had a novel with Coco Chanel. As Mademoiselle Chanel recalled, "Picasso was the only man in the second millennium, which was excited." However, Picasso himself feared her, and often complained that Coco was too famous and recalculated.

About narcissism and astronomical self-esteem Picasso go legends. However, some rumors are not at all. The legendary artist once said to a friend: "God is also an artist ... like me. I am God."

Pablo Ruiz Picasso is one of the most notable figures that have enormous influence on the art of the 20th century. For its long-term creative career, which lasted more than 75 years, he created thousands of creations, among which not only picturesque canvas, but also engravings, scenography, ceramics, mosaic and numerous sculptures made using various materials. He was one of the most revolutionary artists in the history of Western painting. Picasso worked and developed in his element with an incredible life force, at an accelerated pace inherent in the rapid century. Each direction of his activity was the embodiment of a radically new idea. It seems that in one of the fate of the Creator, several artistic lives fit immediately. The Spanish artist was a central figure in the development of cubism, laid the foundations of the concept of abstract art.

Childhood

Pablo appeared on October 25, 1881 in the Andalusian region of the South of Spain. After the occurrence of midwife, the baby was dead, as the childbirth was long and heavy. His uncle, the doctor named Salvador, literally saved a newborn, having released the smoke from Cigar towards the baby, who immediately responded on the smell of desperate roar. The full name obtained by baptism contains 23 words. He was inflicted in honor of various saints and relatives.

His father José Ruiz Blasko came from the ancient, rich kind of northwest of Spain. He was an artist, taught at the school of fine arts, founded by the Academy of Arts and located in the building of San Telmo, the old monastery of Jesuit, and served as a curator in the municipal museum. The school of arts in Malaga worked since 1851. The artist owes his name Mary Picasso Lopez. He actively used it since 1901.

According to legend, one of the first spoken words was "PIZ", a reduction from "Lápiz", which means "pencil". Pablo loved to draw from childhood. Father fully controlled the art education of the Son. He himself gave him lessons and sent him aged five years to school in which he worked. Being the son of an academic painter and inspired by his works, Pablo began to create from an early age. In childhood, his father often took him into battle battle, and one of his early paintings contained the scene of the Corrida.

In 1891, the Father receives a teaching position at the Institute in La Coruna, and in 1892 Pablo entered the same educational institution as a student. For three years, he received a classic art education. Under the academic leadership of the Father, he developed his artistic talent with an extraordinary speed.

years of education

In January 1895, when Picasso was a teenager, his younger sister of the finish died from diphtheria. This tragic event influenced family plans. By the same period, Juan was adopted as a teacher at the Art Academy in La Londzh, and the family moves. Father contributed to the independence of Pablo, removing him the studio in Barcelona.

A year later, he was adopted as a student of the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. He demonstrated his wonderful ability, completing the entrance exam in one day, which was allocated for a whole month, despite the fact that it was younger than officially required for training. With the financial assistance of their relatives, Pablo goes to study in Madrid at the end of 1897. However, Pablo was boring classic techniques for art school. He did not want to draw as artists of the past, but I wanted to create something new. Returning in 1900 in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bhe often visited the famous cafe focused on meeting the intelligentsia and artists "Four Cat". His visit to Orta de Ebro from 1898 to 1899 and his connection with the group in the cafe in 1899 had crucial importance for early artistic development. It was in Barcelona that he moved away from traditional classical methods, bending to an experimental and innovative approach to painting. In this literary and artistic environment, many adherents of modern French art were collected from France, as well as Catalan traditional and folk art. There is a myth that his father was so impressed with the abilities of the Son that in 1894 he shrewd himself, but in fact José continued to draw until death. Picasso relations with his parents became tense when he stopped studying. In the cafe, he became friends with the young Catalan painter Carlos Kashamas, with whom later moved to France.

In 1900, the first exhibition of Picasso took place in Barcelona, \u200b\u200band in the autumn he went to Paris.

Paris period

At the turn of the twentieth century, Paris was the center of the International Art World. For painters, it was the birthplace of impressionists who portrayed the world around the world with the help of smears or strokes from non-shaped colors to create a sense of real reflected light. Although their work and retained certain ties with the outside world, certain trends were observed for abstractionism. After leaving Spain, Picasso at the World Exhibition in Paris introduced his picture "Recent Moments".

However, the trip to the capital of art was overshadowed. Friend of the artist fell into depression due to unfortunate and painful love stories with a dancer from Moulin Ruju. They decided to spend a vacation in the native city of Picasso, but it was not destined to happen. Carlos committed suicide, a shot in the temple. Pablo was so crushed by this loss that it could not not affect his work. He writes several portraits of a friend in a coffin. Picasso comes to the "blue period" of his creativity, during which the longing and depressiveness are through the canvas, replete blue tones. Over the next four years, blue color dominated in its pictures. He painted people with elongated features of the face. Some of his paintings of this period depicted poor people, beggars, sad and dark people.

Two outstanding examples of the works of the "Blue Picasso period":

• "Old guitarist";
• "Beggar old man with a boy";
• "A life";
• "Woman with a bunch of hair."

In 1902, two artist exhibitions were organized. Nevertheless, he lives and works with almost no livelihood in Max Jacob's room. From the deep depression on the death of a close friend of Carlos Cashamace helped to get out a love story with Fernanda Olivier, its former first. He fell in love with a Frenchwoman and lived with her until 1912. The paintings began to fill with warmer colors, among which the shades of red, beige, orange. Art historians call this time in the life of Pablo "Pink Period". The plots were the image of happier scenes, among which there were a circus topics.

Picasso acquired a permanent Paris Studio in 1904. His studio soon became the meeting place for artists and writers of the city. Soon in the circle of friends they entered the poet Guillaume Apolliner, Max Jacob, Lev and Gertrud Stein, Andre Salmo, two agents: Ambruz Voland and Berta Weil.

Since 1905, he was increasingly interested in visual techniques. This interest seemed to have awakened thanks to late paintings of the field of Cezanne.

In the period between 1900 and 1906, he tried almost all the basic styles of painting. At the same time, his own style has changed with an extraordinary speed. Steinov introduce him to Henri Matisse. Portrait of Gertruda Stein, began a series of experiences of portrait abstraction, inspired by Iberian sculpture, the exhibition of which Picasso visited in Louvre in the spring of 1906.

Picasso and cubism

Avignon girls became an attempt to Picasso forget their past relationships. Made in the new revolutionary manner, under the influence of the art of Cezanna and Negro, the picture became the founder of the originating pictorial direction, whose parent is considered to be Picasso.

Together with the painter and friend George marriage in 1907, he began his visual experiments. Cubism was a new artist's artistic concept, through which Pablo tried to challenge the generally accepted laws of copying nature. Objects fall on the cloth by cutting and fault faults to emphasize the two canvas dimensions.

Between 1907 and 1911, Picasso continued to decompose the visible world into smaller verge of monochrome planes. At the same time, his work became increasingly abstract. The most striking examples, visually illustrating the development of the direction, are the canvas: "Fruit Plate" (1909), "Portrait of Ambroas Vollar" (1910) and "Woman with a guitar" (1911-12). In 1912, Picasso began to combine cubism and collage. It was during this period that he began to use sand or plaster in his paint to give her a texture. It also used colored paper, newspapers and wallpapers to give the canvas additional expressiveness.

Russian wife Picasso

Picasso's cooperation with directors of ballet and theatrical productions Picasso began in 1916. Invented and realized scenery and costumes of Dyagileev ballets were struck by the public from 1917 to 1924. Thanks to the work with the Russian ballet Dyagileev, Pablo gets acquainted with Olga Khokhlova Ballerina, which becomes his wife. They lived together for 18 years, during which their son Paulo was born in 1921. In the 20s of the twentieth century, the artist and his wife Olga continued to live in Paris, often traveled and spent the summer on the beach. Because of the novel from the Picasso on the side of the novel with a young Frenchwoman, which caused the pregnancy and the birth of an extramarital child, the family broke up. The spouse broke the relationship and left for the south of France. The divorce did not happen, and Olga remained his wife's wife until the end of his days due to the reluctance of Pablo to comply with the conditions of the marriage contract.

New achievements

In several stages, Picasso turned away from abstraction and the light saw a series of paintings in realistic and serenely beautiful classic style. One of the most famous works was the "woman in white". Written in just two years after the "three musicians", calm and not attracting unnecessary attention to themselves with incomeness, which once demonstrated the ease with which he could express himself.

After a short circulation to the classicism, the master became known for his surrealistic works that came to replace the cubism.

In the period from 1925 to the 1930s, he was as a certain extent been associated with surrealists, and since the fall of 1931 it was especially interested in sculpture. In 1932, in connection with the holding of large exhibitions in George Petit Gallery in Paris and the Arts House in Zurich, the fame of Picasso has noticeably increased. By 1936, the Spanish Civil War had a deep influence on Picasso, whose apogee was writing the most famous of his paintings. "Gernika" is an allegorical condemnation of fascism, a powerful image depicting realities and war and its consequences.

This work was ordered by the Government for the Pavilion of Spain to the Paris World Fair. She depicts catastrophic destruction in the city during a civil rebellion. The work was completed for six or seven weeks. Completed completely in black, white and gray, a 25-foot width and a height of 11, the picture serves as a quintessence of pain and the suffering of the people from cruelty. Picasso applied a picturesque cubism language to a situation arising from social and political consciousness.

Political views of Picasso

Picasso publicly stated in 1947 that he is a communist. When he was asked about motives, he stated: "When I was a boy in Spain, I was very poor and realized how poor people live. I learned that the Communists are focused on the needs of the poor. Therefore, I became a communist. " After the death of Joseph Stalin, the Communists of France appealed to the artist with a request to write a party leader. His portrait called Shumihu in the leadership of the Communist Party. The Soviet government rejected his portrait.

Despite the fact that Picasso was in exile from his native Spain after the victory in 1939 by Generalissimus Francisco Franco, he gave over eight hundred of his early works by Barcelona. But because of the dislike of Franco, his name did not appear in the museum. Among the huge number of Picasso exhibitions, which were held during the artist's life, the most significant were exposure in New York and Paris.

In 1961, Pablo took Jacqueline Rock in his wife, and they moved to Music. There Picasso continued his fruitful work that did not stop until the end of his days. One of the latest works was a self-portrait made by a pencil on paper "Self-portrait facing face to face." He died in a year at the age of 91 in his thirty-fightened villa on the Hill of Notre Dam-De-V Moved on April 8, 1973.
