Picasso period español y por eso, según dicen, comenzó a dibujar antes que a hablar. Cuando niño, se sintió atraído de manera instintiva hacia las herramientas del artista. En sus primeros años pasaba horas en feliz concentración dibujando espirales con un sentido y un significado que sólo él conocía. Otras veces dejaba de lado sus juegos infantiles para trazar sus primeras imágenes en l. a. area. Tan temprana expresión artística encerraba los angeles promesa de un raro don. No hay que olvidar hacer mención de Málaga, pues fue ahí donde, el 25 de octubre de 1881, nació Pablo Ruiz Picasso, y fue ahí donde pasó los primeros diez años de su vida. El padre de Picasso period pintor y profesor en los angeles Escuela de Bellas Artes y Oficios. Picasso aprendió de él los rudimentos del entrenamiento académico formal en arte. Luego fue a estudiar a l. a. Academia de las Artes en Madrid, pero no se graduó. Antes de cumplir los dieciocho años había llegado al punto de mayor rebeldía; repudió los angeles estética anémica de l. a. academia junto con l. a. prosa pedestre del realismo y, naturalmente, se unió a aquellos artistas y escritores que se llamaban a sí mismos modernistas, a los inconformistas, aquellos a los que Sabartés llamó "la élite del pensamiento catalán" y que se habían agrupado en torno al café de artistas Els Quatre Gats. Durante 1899 y 1900 los únicos temas que Picasso consideró meritorios fueron aquellos que reflejaban los angeles "verdad final", l. a. fugacidad de los angeles vida humana y los angeles inevitabilidad de los angeles muerte. Sus primeras obras, agrupadas bajo el nombre de "Periodo Azul" (1901-1904), consisten en pinturas con matices azulados y fueron el resultado de l. a. influencia de un viaje que realizó por España y de los angeles muerte de su amigo Casagemas. Aunque Picasso mismo insistió varias veces en l. a. naturaleza subjetiva e interna de su Periodo Azul, su génesis y, en especial, el azul monocromático se explicaron durante muchos años como el basic resultado de varias influencias estéticas. Entre 1905 y 1907, Picasso inició un nuevo periodo, conocido como el "Periodo Rosa", que se caracterizó por un estilo más alegre con colores rosados y anaranjados. En Gosol, en el verano de 1906, los angeles forma del desnudo femenino asumió una importancia extraordinaria para Picasso; identificó una desnudez despersonalizada, unique y uncomplicated con el concepto de "mujer". l. a. importancia que los desnudos femeninos tendrían para Picasso en cuanto a temática durante los siguientes meses (en el invierno y los angeles primavera de 1907) se hizo patente cuando creó l. a. composición de una pintura grande titulada Las señoritas de Aviñón. De l. a. misma manera que el arte africano se considera como el issue que llevó al desarrollo de l. a. estética clásica de Picasso en 1907, las lecciones de Cézanne se perciben como los angeles piedra angular de este nuevo avance. Esto se relaciona, en primer lugar, con los angeles concepción espacial del lienzo como una entidad compuesta, sujeta a un determinado sistema de construcción. Georges Braque, a quien Picasso conoció en el otoño de 1908 y con quien encabezó el movimiento cubista durante los seis años de su apogeo, quedó asombrado por l. a. semejanza que los experimentos pictóricos de Picasso guardaban con los suyos. En cierto momento, explicó: "La dirección critical del cubismo period l. a. materialización del espacio". Después de su periodo cubista, en los angeles década de 1920, Picasso volvió a un estilo artístico más figurativo y se acercó más al movimiento surrealista. Representó cuerpos monstruosos y distorsionados, pero en un estilo muy own. Después del bombardeo de Guernica en 1937, Picasso creó una de sus obras más famosas, que se convirtió en símbolo crudo de los horrores de esa guerra y, de hecho, de todas las guerras. En l. a. década de 1960, su estilo...
