Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973)

Pablo Picasso is considered to be one of the most famous painters in the


twentieth century. He was born in Malaga, Spain on October 20, 1881. In addition
to painting, Picasso was also a printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and
playwright. He spent most of his adult life in France.

Life

Picasso showed a passion and a skill for drawing from an early age. According to
his mother, his first words were "piz, piz", a shortening of lápiz, the Spanish word
for "pencil". From the age of seven, Picasso received formal artistic training from
his father in figure drawing and oil painting. On one occasion, the father found
his son painting over his unfinished sketch of a pigeon. Observing the precision
of his son's technique, the father felt that the thirteen-year-old Picasso had
surpassed him, and vowed to give up painting.

Artist life

Picasso grew up to become one of the greatest and most influential artists of the
20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of
constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of
styles that he helped develop and explore. Picasso is now regarded as one of the
artists who most defined the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the
opening decades of the 20th century.

Last few years

Picasso had affairs with a lot of women and was married twice and had four
children, Paulo, Maya, Claude and Paloma by three women. He died on 8 April
1973 in Mougins, France, while he and his wife Jacqueline entertained friends for
dinner. He was interred at the Chateau of Vauvenargues near Aix-en-Provence, a
property he had acquired in 1958 and occupied with Jacqueline between 1959
and 1962. Jacqueline Roque prevented his children Claude and Paloma from
attending the funeral. Devastated and lonely after the death of Picasso,
Jacqueline Roque killed herself by gunshot in 1986 when she was 59 years old.
