Pablo Picasso: Modern Art
built 658 days ago
Picasso's painting styles came out in different periods. For instance, from 1900 to 1904 Pablo focused his art on the use of different shades of blue. For this reason this period in time was called the Blue Period. For the next two years Picasso focused his art more on shades of pink and therefore this time period was called the Rose Period.

Picasso's early work reveals a creative pattern which persisted throughout his long career. Between 1900 and 1906 he worked through nearly every major style of contemporary painting, from impressionism to Art Nouveau. In doing so, his own work changed with unprecedented quickness, revealing a spectrum of feelings that would seem to lie beyond the limits of one human being. In itself this accomplishment was a mark of Picasso's genius.

From 1925 to 1936 Picasso again worked in a number of styles. He composed some paintings of tightly structured geometric shapes, limiting his color scheme to primary colors (red, blue, yellow), as in The Studio (1928, Museum of Modern Art). In other paintings, such as Nude in an Armchair (1929, Musée Picasso), he depicted contorted female figures whose open mouths and menacing teeth reveal a more emotional, less reasoned attitude. Picasso’s marriage broke up during this time, and some of the menacing female figures in his art of this period may represent Koklova.

In 1907, after numerous studies and variations Picasso painted his first Cubist picture - “Les demoiselles d’Avignon”. Impressed with African sculptures at an ethnographic museum he tried to combine the angular structures of the “primitive art” and his new ideas about cubism. The critics immediately dubbed this stage in his work the "Negro" Period, seeing in it only an imitation of African ethnic art.

In this year, Picasso exhibited at Vollard's gallery, selling works that are some of his most famous now, but could not even bring in enough money for art materials then. Picasso met Max Jacob -- the poet, painter, and art critic -- at Vollard's. Though Picasso spoke little French and Jacob no Spanish, Jacob's reading of nineteenth-century poets such as Baudelaire and Rimbaud smoothed out the language barrier, and the two formed a friendship that ended only with the poet's death in a Nazi concentration camp.
