Pablo Picasso
Bio
Pablo Picasso (Spain, 1881 - France, 1973). Between 1901 and 1904, his painting entered the stage called blue period, strongly influenced by symbolism, at the end of this period he moved definitively to Paris. His painting underwent a new evolution, characterized by a chromatic palette tending to earth and pink colors (pink period). At the end of 1906, Pablo Picasso began to work on "Les demoiselles d'Avignon", marking the beginning of cubism and changing the course of 20th century art. From 1915 onwards, he gradually abandoned the rigors of cubism to enter a new figurative stage, in the context of a reencounter between classicism and the growing influence of what the artist called his "Mediterranean origins". The Spanish Civil War pushed him to a greater political awareness, developing the large-scale mural Guernica (1937). Three years later, Pablo Picasso left Paris to settle in Antibes, where he incorporated ceramics into his media.
Statement
Picasso's transcendence is not exhausted in the foundation of cubism, Pablo Picasso incessantly explored new paths and influenced all facets of twentieth-century art, embodying like no other the restlessness and receptivity of the contemporary artist. His total dedication to his creative work and his vitalist personality, on the other hand, never distanced him from the problems of his time; one of his masterpieces, Guernica (1937), is the best illustration of his condition as a committed artist.
