Pablo Picasso painter (1881−1973)
Pablo Picasso is a very famous painter. He was born in Malaga, Spain in 1881, but he lived most of his life in Paris, France.
In 1902 he started painting the poor people he met on the streets, so his paintings were very sad and dark. This period in his work is called the ‘blue period’ (1901−04). In 1904 he started his ‘pink period’, in which he painted the world of the circus: clowns, acrobats and musicians. The paintings from that period are very happy and full of pink colours.
In 1909 he worked with another artist, Georges Braque. Together they painted ‘abstract’ pictures. In an abstract picture you only see lines and colours, and it is very difficult to understand what exactly you are looking at. Picasso’s most famous painting is ‘Guernica’, which he painted during the Civil War in Spain, in 1937. It is a dark, sad and abstract picture about the war.
Picasso lived most of his life in Spain.
