Pablo Picasso Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in a small town in southern Spain His father was a painter who taught art Picasso was amazing at an early age; he attended the Royal Academy of Madrid starting at 16 Picasso’s teachers made him draw from plaster casts, which he thought was a ridiculous way to learn, so he began to work on his own His father disliked his rebellious behavior, long hair and strange clothes; he believed that Picasso was wasting his talent, asking him, “Why don’t you cut your hair and paint sensibly?”

Picasso continued… In 1900, Picasso went to Paris – the center of the art world. In Paris, he lived in an old building and constantly reflected on his dismal surroundings, which is often depicted in his early, realistic work. Pablo Picasso was creating his artwork during the early to mid 1900’s Picasso didn’t sell a lot of his work in his early years, but he is now one of the world’s most famous artists His career lasted more than 70 years Picasso lived to be 92 years old

This was the start of the Cubism movement. Picasso had a vision regarding what he wanted to represent through art with his new ideas. His goals included the following:

The goals of Cubism include:
Getting as close to reality as possible by representing a real, natural object on a flat canvas by showing every side of the object. Taking each point of view and emphasizing the geometric shapes by spreading all of these points out on a canvas. Unfolding an image. EXAMPLE: Three Musicians, 1921 As Cubism developed, Picasso began to combine several points of view of an object and to overlap them – this led to some images becoming almost unrecognizable.

Positive Space & Negative Space

Different degrees of values can add interest to an image by creating the idea of depth, texture and more.
