Pablo Picasso
1881 - 1973

Pablo Picasso, a Spanish born painter and sculptor, spent most of his life in France. He is probably the most famous and influential artist of this century. Probably more time has been spent by more writers trying to explain him and his paintings than any other artist alive. He is discussed, argued about, loved, and hated probably more than any other artist that has ever lived.

"Self Portrait"


"Portrait of Ambroise Vollard"

The story of Pablo Picasso can best be learned through a study of his style. He studied other artists and practiced their styles, learning from each one. Because of this practice, critics would often accuse him of imitating. Whenever this criticism persisted, he simply changed styles. These different styles became known as "periods." Today he is famous for these periods, and people identify his style and works by each of them.
His Periods were:
1901 - 1904 Blue Period
1905 - 1906 Rose or Pink Period
1907 - 1908 Iberian or African Period
1909 - 1913 Analytical Cubism Period
1914 - On and Off for the next 10 years - Synthetic Cubism
1915 - Pencil Portraits
1917 - Ballet Period
1918 - 1924 Classic Period
1925 - Grotesque and Double Image Period
1950s - Lithography
