Accompany me to know the life and work of this excellent plastic artist.

Birth and childhood

According to his birth certificate, his name was Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz Picasso, he was the son of José Ruiz y Blasco in union with María Picasso López. He was born in Malaga, Spain on 25 October 1881.

At a very early age Pablo Picasso began to paint, his father professor of drawing of Real Academy of San Telmo, when he was only 8 years old he was already painting his first painting titled "the yellow picador" this motivated to a bullfight that there was in the city. Shortly after he moved from Malaga to Galicia where he continued at the amazing age of 10 years making very exquisite drawings. His father gave him an unexpected gift, he gave him his brushes and his palette, making the promise to paint more never in his life.

Youth

One of his first academic paintings was made in the city of Barcelona, city where he lived about 9 years, study in the city of Madrid in the Academy of San Fernando but soon renounced the studies, had a very changing life moving many times to different cities, where he developed as an artist his different periods being the following:

Blue period:

Which developed between Paris and Barcelona, the name is by the type of color that dominated his works at that time, due to a great depression by the death of his friend Carlos Casagemas who committed suicide on February 17, 1901, Picasso painted a picture in his honor entitled "The burial of Casagemas" this style developed based on several inspirations of other painters such as del Greco, Van Gogh and Gauguin. These painters were great scholars of symbolism and the psychological impact of colors on the spectator.

Pink Period:

Inspired by love, Picasso settled for a time in Paris, where he had the opportunity to reconnect with several Spanish painters such as Ricardo Canals and Manuel Hugué with whom he shared pictorial techniques and sculpture. He had an affair with Madeleine, who appears in several of his paintings as the "female acrobat" who quickly captured the artist's emotions inspiring him until 1910. This was his first great love.

The same one that arrived in Paris in 1904 met the poet André Salmon and Guillaume Apollinaire, poet and writer precursor of surrealism, where he shared infinite bohemian nights the Cabaret Lapi Agile and the Cirque Medrano, thus retracting the poverty and harshness of those two worlds linked to art, the pink period is distinguished by warm tones and pastel colors, delicacy in the lines and lengthening the figures, intimately influenced by the pictorial art of Greco. He painted masks, harlequins, tamers, and clowns; it is also the time of the pink maternity wards.
