Cubism:

Although Cubism is not an individual creation but rather a collective one, together with his friends, Georges Braque, Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Juan Gris, María Blanchard, and Guillaume Apollinaire and Picasso at the head develop the artistic movement that marked the history of painting in the 20th century.

Cubism is considered the first avant-garde, as it breaks with the last Renaissance statute in force at the beginning of the 20th century, the perspective. In Cubist paintings, the traditional perspective disappears. It deals with the forms of nature through geometric figures, fragmenting lines and surfaces. The so-called "multiple perspectives" are thus adopted: all the parts of an object are represented in the same plane. The representation of the world in which it happened to have no commitment to the appearance of things from a certain point of view, but with what is known about them. That is why different views of the object appeared at the same time and in the same plane: for example, it is represented in front and in profile; in a human face, the nose is in profile and the eye in front; a bottle appears in its vertical cut and its horizontal cut. There is no longer a single point of view. There is no sense of depth. Details are suppressed, and sometimes it ends up representing the object by a single aspect, as happens with violins, insinuated only by the presence of the object's tail.

No doubt Cubism, which was not very well seen, in fact its name was put by an art critic who in a derogatory manner referred to them as motejándolos de fauves (fauves); in the case of Braque and his paintings of L'Estaque, Vauxcelles said, contemptuously, that it was a painting composed of "small cubes" and geometric figures.

The political commitment of Picasso who belonged to the French and Spanish Communist Party led him in his Cubist period to represent one of the most representative and famous works. His total dedication to creative work and his vitalist personality, on the other hand, would never take him away from the problems of his time; one of his masterpieces, the Guernica (1937), is the best illustration of his condition as a committed artist. This work is inspired by the devastating bombardment of Guernica's Basque region by German aviation in 1937.
His death.

In 1973, at the age of 91, he died of pulmonary edema at his home in Mougins, France. However, the local authorities did not allow him to be buried in the mansion and his wife Jacqueline decided to bury him in the castle of Vauvenargues, also owned by Picasso, where she would also be buried years later.

Pablo Picasso never stopped painting and sculpting, he was a self-sacrificing and vitalist painter who left an invaluable legacy to the artistic world and to humanity.

And so I conclude this publication the first of Espacio Artístico that will discover in each publication the fabulous world of art.
