Picasso Brief Bio Pablo Picasso was taught at a young age by his artist father. His Father taught Picasso that many tools can be used to create a work of art, and gave him his own first palette and brushes. Picasso's work is often categorized into periods. In one of these periods Pablo Picasso was instrumental in the development of the style of painting known as Cubism. This style uses monochrome brown and neutral colors. In the painting the Three Musicians, an example of Cubism, Picasso takes apart objects and analyzes them in terms of their shapes. By doing this, Picasso separated pieces of information about his subjects and only showed certain parts and viewpoints he chose in the finished painting. He made the appearance of the painting itself more important than the depiction of his subjects in a realistic space. This artwork is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
