Pablo Picasso: Works

Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born in Malaga Spain on October 25, 1881. The son of an academic painter, José Ruiz Blanco, he began to draw at an early age. In 1895, the family moved to Barcelona, and Picasso studied there at La Lonja, the academy of fine arts. He was a rebel from the start and, as a teenager, began to frequent the Barcelona cafes where intellectuals gathered. He soon went to Paris, the capital of art, and soaked up the works of Manet, Gustave Courbet, and Toulouse-Lautrec, whose sketchy style impressed him greatly.

Enamel Saucepan by Pablo Picasso is wonderful. The saucepan and the pitcher and the candle are magnificent. It has colorful things and nice work to look at like a colorful flower. The candle was brownish and it was lit. The saucepan was like a triangle and the color was blue. It ... had black outlines. All in all, you can see the black outlines put together on the saucepan.

Pablo Ruiz y Picasso (October 25, 1881 - April 8, 1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor. One of the most recognized figures in 20th century art, he is best known as the co-founder, along with Georges Braque, of cubism. One of the most prolific artists of all time, he produced around 13,500 paintings, even more drawings than that, 2,500 original prints, 1,000 different ceramics, and 700 sculptures in other media. Given that many of the prints and ceramics were released in an average of seventy-five editions (though the edition sizes varied widely), the total number of original Picasso works is over a quarter of a million.

In 1905, soon after moving to Montmartre, France, the 24 year old Pablo Picasso painted what would someday become the highest selling piece of art in history. In 2004, this amazing piece brought in over $100 million shattering the record previously held for a work of art. (See Vincent van Gogh) It is oil on canvas whose subject, a local boy who would visit Picasso’s studio, is holding a pipe and wearing a garland or wreath of flowers. Though many art critics say the high price is due more to the name than to the painting, this Rose Period piece is still an amazing work of art.

Pablo Picasso surprised a burglar at work in his new chateau. The intruder got away, but Picasso told the police he could do a rough sketch of what he looked like. On the basis of his drawing, the police arrested a mother superior, the minister of finance, a washing machine, and the Eiffel tower.

Picasso moved to Paris in 1904 and settled in the artist quarter Bateau-Lavoir, where he lived among bohemian poets and writers such as Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918) and Max Jacob (1876–1944). In At the Lapin Agile (1992.391) from 1905, Picasso directs his attention toward more pleasant themes such as carnival performers, harlequins, and clowns. In this painting, he uses his own image for the harlequin figure and abandons the daunting blues in favor of vivid hues, red for example, to celebrate the lives of circus performers (categorically labeled his Rose Period). In Paris, he found dedicated patrons in American siblings Gertrude (1874–1946) and Leo (1872–1947) Stein, whose Saturday evening salons in their home at 27, rue des Fleurus was an incubator for modern artistic and intellectual thought. At the Steins he met other artists living and working in the city—generally referred to as the "School of Paris"—such as Henri Matisse (1869–1954). Painted in 1906, Gertrude Stein (47.106) records Picasso's early stylistic experiments with primitivism influenced by a new fascination with pre-Roman Iberian sculpture and African and Oceanic art.
