Pablo Picasso Wiki Biography

• Born as Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de Los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso on October 25, 1881, in Malaga, Spain, but known throughout the world as Pablo Picasso, he was a renowned painter, sculptor, and poet, creating works such as “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” (1907), “Guernica” (1937) and “The Weeping Woman” (1937), among many others. 
• Pablo’s career began in the 1900s until the 1970s, when he made more than 50,000 pieces, including paintings, sculptures, sketches, ceramics, rugs, and tapestries. 
• Sources say that Picasso’s net worth was as high as $500 million, a sum he earned by the use of his many talents. 
• Pablo was named in honor of the Spanish saints and some of his relatives; he was the son of María Picasso y López and Don José Ruiz y Blasco, a painter and sculptor, whose footsteps he soon pursued. 
• At 16, his father and uncle sent him to Spain’s most prestigious art school, the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. 
• Then came Pablo’s Rose Era, from 1904 to 1906, during which he used lighter colors, such as pink and orange, best depicted in works such as “Garçon à la pipe” (1905), “Au Lapin Agile” (1905), and “Portrait of Gertrude Stein” (1906). 
• In 1907, Pablo became part of the Paris Art Gallery, opened by the German art historian and collector Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, and began his African-influenced era, which gave the world one of Picasso’s most famous paintings, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. 
• Known as the founder of Cubism, Picasso and fellow painter Georges Braque developed a new style, using monochrome brownish and neutral colors. 
• Some of his most notable works of this time include “Girl with a Mandolin” (1910), “Figure Dan’s un Fauteuil” (1909), “Three Musicians” (1921), among others. 
• Pablo remained active in the 1920s and 1930s, succumbing to classicism and surrealism, completing paintings such as “Guernica,” one of his most famous works. 
• When World War II began, Picasso not only painted but also ventured into poetry, creating plays such as “Desire Caught By The Tail” (1941) and “The Four Little Girls” (1949) and writing some of his more than 300 poems, categorized as sexual, gustatory and scatological. 
• After the end of the Second World War, he also began his career as a sculptor, making works such as “Chicago Picasso,” which he donated to the Chicago people, and a collection of sculptures based on the painting “Las Meninas” by Diego Velasquez. 
• He also created sculptures based on paintings by artists such as Manet, Goya, and others. 
• Picasso remained active until the 1970s, combining his previous styles with new ones, integrating both of them into his works, and thereby developing Neo-Expressionism, without even being conscious of it. 
• With fame came fortune, as his works sold about $100 million, including “Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust” (1932), which was sold for $106.5 million, “Garcon a la Pipe” (1905) for $104 million, and “Dora Maar au Chat” for $95.2 million, which only improved his net worth.

• Politically Picasso was a Republican sympathizer during the Spanish Civil War, and in 1944 he entered the French Communist Party, which triggered some friction with fellow artists and inspired the denial of French citizenship.
