Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso was a famous Spanish painter and sculptor, known for being one
of the founders of the Cubist movement. Throughout his life, made numerous
paintings, ceramics and sculptures, which enabled it to be recognized as one of
the characters representatives of the twentieth century and one of the best
artists in history. 

Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881 in Malaga, Spain. He was
baptized Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los
Remedios Cipriano of the Holy Trinity Ruiz and Picasso. I tell you all those
names was given to honoring various saints and relatives. His father was Don
José Ruiz y Blasco, who was a painter and professor at the School of Fine Arts
in Malaga, as well as curator of the Municipal Museum. His mother was Maria
Picasso y Lopez, of Italian descent from his father. Paul was the eldest son of
the marriage, which had two other daughters, Dolores and Concepción. 

Paul showed interest in drawing and art from an early age. When he was only 7,
her father, who was also a painter, he began teaching drawing and painting
techniques in oil. His first work in oils was made after watching a bullfight when
she was 8. His father oversaw the process and the result was "The little
chopper", a work that accompanied Paul throughout his life. In 1891 the family
moved to La Coruña, where Paul was able to develop much more as an
artist. In 1895, he moved to Barcelona, where he began studying at the Escuela
de Bellas Artes de la Lonja. I tell you at this school only admitted to more than
20 years, but Paul managed to get only thirteen. 

In 1896 and 1897, participated in two exhibitions with works recognized "First
Communion" and "Science and Charity", with which it achieves recognition. At
this time the coffee was very important "Els Quatre Gats, where he contacted
numerous artists and writers, and where he made his first solo exhibition. 

Between 1901 and 1904 experienced the so-called "blue period", known well by
the predominant color of their works. This period began with sadness that
caused the suicide of his friend Carlos Casagemas. He lived alternately
between Paris, Madrid and Barcelona. Much importance was his friend Max
Jacob, who taught French language and shared his apartment in a period of
poverty. Picasso painted his first masterpieces as "The Two Sisters", "seaside
Poor" and "La Celestina", among others. He also painted "Life", one of the most
important and complex works of that period. 

In 1904 he decided to settle in Paris, a poor but well-known place called

Bateau-Lavoir.He met several artists and Fernande Olivier, who was his first
pair. Became interested in poverty of circus life and used pastel colors in their
works. Initiated the so-called Rose Period. " He painted masterpieces such as
"Acrobat Balloon", "Acrobat and Young Harlequin", "Family of Acrobats with
Monkey" and "The family of acrobats," among others. 

In 1905 he met Leo and Gertrude Stein, who spent their wealth in art
collecting. Bought a few pieces of Picasso and the artist made the famous work
"Portrait of Gertrude Stein." By Gertrude, Paul met Matisse and Georges
Braque. The latter, being also a young painter, developed later, with Picasso,
called Cubism. The experimental work of Paul with these new studies is the
renowned "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, painted in 1907. This new movement
was preceded by Paul's new interest in African culture and primitivism Iberian. It
was called "black or African period" occurred from 1907 to 1909. 

"Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" was the beginning of Cubism, which made a

dramatic change in the style of Picasso. This new style was not accepted
among his friends, who advised him to leave, but Paul, focusing on volume and
form, continued the movement that became a landmark of modern art. Picasso
and Braque continued to work, and went from Analytical to Synthetic Cubism,
almost abstract style. Integrated objects into his paintings, like pieces of cloth,
wood, paper, etc. Performed works such as "Man with a Hat" and "Still Life with
a rattan chair," among others. At this time, Paul ended his relationship with
Fernande Olivier in 1911 and began a relationship with Marcell Humbert. 

In 1914, Pablo Picasso was already a famous and renowned artist and his
works have been exhibited in numerous exhibitions and bought by large sums
of money. That same year, the product of the First World War, Braque and
other friends were mobilized, in addition, his wife died suddenly Marcell. Paul
left almost entirely Cubism and other styles developed in 1917 working on the
decoration of the work of ballet "Parade." Here he met his new love: the
ballerina Olga Chochlova, whom he married in 1918. During the following years,
he lived in Madrid, Barcelona and London, developed a neoclassical work in
many ballets. Emerged works as "The Bathers" and "Women Sitting" among
others. In 1921 their first child was born Paulo. 

Paul had already experienced in sculpture when he met with Julio Gonzalez in
1928. Are more interested in sculpture and with Gonzalez, innovative works
made of wrought iron.In 1927, he met Marie-Therese Walter, who was his lover
and the mother of his daughter Maya in 1935. In June of that year, Olga was
separated from the painter. Paul began a third relationship with photographer
Dora Maar while still focusing on sculpture. In painting, performed works such
as "Crucifixion" and the surreal "Bather granted." In 1936, amid the Spanish
Civil War, Paul took the Republican Party and a new political consciousness,
painted in Paris, one of his most important works: "Guernica." In 1942, the
death of his friend Julio Gonzalez, who inspired him to make a series of still life
works. 

In 1943, he met his new love: the painter Françoise Guillot, with whom he
remained for ten years and their children were born Claude and Paloma. In
1944, he joined the French Communist Party and in 1945, began working in
lithography and performed many works with this technique. In 1949, he made
the play "The dove of peace", which earned him a Lenin Peace Prize. He also
made ceramic works, which became one of his favorite activities. In 1954, he
met Jacqueline Roque, who became his second wife in 1961. Picasso
continued to work until he died in 1973. I tell you that his wife committed suicide
a few years later because they could not overcome the death of Paul.

Pablo Picasso is one of the most important artists of all time. It is estimated that
his works became more than 50000, including paintings, sculptures, drawings,
prints and ceramics. In addition, several of his paintings are among the highest
in the world. I tell as data which decided to use her maiden name, not a
rejection of his father, but because that's how his friends called him in his youth
and became a character as recognized

François Duvalier
(Port au Prince, 1907 - 1971) Political Haitian president from 1957 until his
death. The son of a poor family, got to study the medical career, discipline in
which he graduated in 1934. He joined as an intern at the hospital in San
Francisco de Sales, and then appointed as doctor, opened a clinic consultation
Séguineau Emilie, on the outskirts of Port au Prince.

In the forties was responsible for combating the plague of yaws in the country,
with such success that the Inter-American Affairs Commission selected him with
a score of Haitian doctors to attend a course in public health at the University of
Michigan. In 1946 he joined the Movement of Workers and Peasants (MOP),
which took a leading role in the overthrow of President Elie Lescot.

Duvalier reached a political position that elevated him to the post of Director of
Health Service in 1946 and later the undersecretary of State for Labour (1948)
and Minister of Labour (1949) with President Dumarsais Estime. In these years
of silent policy enforcement achieved notoriety as an intellectual student of
voodoo, an issue that focused his ethnographic research.

The military coup of Paul Magloire in 1950 returned him to his former position
as a doctor in the U.S. medical mission, but his political activities he was thrown
into hiding since December 1954 to August 1956. He successfully portrayed the
presidential election of September 22, 1957, which ended a chaotic period of
one year in the six presidents who succeeded. On October 22 took the oath of
office.

Duvalier introduced a personal dictatorship based on the exaltation of blackness

and voodoo, resorting to political terror through the Tonton Macoutes (a word
that means the traveler voodoo magician, more literally the 'bogeyman'), a
paramilitary group recruited from the sub-proletariat and the peasantry
uprooted. On April 30, 1961, before the expiry of its mandate, it was considered
re-elected for six years through elections unconstitutional, and April 1, 1964
proclaimed himself president for life, a condition in which it was confirmed on 14
June; eight days later took possession.

 
 He repeated his providential character and clothed him with a supernatural aura
and personality (it liked to be called 'Papa Doc'). His alleged powers to escape
immune to many attacks and guerrilla invasions sponsored coup attempts by
Cuba, Dominican Republic or USA attributed to the origin between divine and
magical. He even published a "revolutionary catechism" with profane prayers
deification of Duvalier. On his death on April 21, 1971, his son Jean-Claude was
proclaimed president in accordance with the provisions of inheritance that made
Haiti the world's only hereditary republic.
