    Pablo Picasso

    Modern Art Master


    The Rose Period 1905-1906
    • In 1904, Picasso took
    interest in the world of
    circus performers and
    actors.
    • Acrobats and the
    clown-like Harlequin
    often became the
    subject for this new
    period known as the
    Rose Period.

    The Rose Period
    Cubism 1906-1915
    • Picasso soon left the
    Rose period behind and
    began a new
    experimental phase
    known as Cubism.
    • Picasso was interested in
    African sculpture and the
    way it distorted the body
    into imaginative shapes.
    • This is a painting of a
    guitar. How many
    shapes can you find in
    the picture?
    Cubism
    Cubism

    • Cubism breaks up an image into shapes and planes,


    showing multiple sides of the same object at the same
    time.
    • Picasso was widely respected for his innovative work.
    • “I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.”
    Classicism 1916-1925
    • In 1917, Picasso met
    a beautiful dancer
    named Olga Kokhlova
    and in 1918 they were
    married.
    • Picasso’s paintings
    during this time were
    brighter and sunnier
    than his prior Cubist
    works.
    Surrealism 1925-1934
    • In 1925 Picasso
    became closely
    involved with a group
    of artists known as
    the Surrealists.
    • They were interested
    in the world of dreams
    and spontaneous
    behavior.
    Surrealism
    Barbarism 1937-1946

    • In 1937, Picasso was asked to paint a large mural for the


    Spanish pavilion at the Exposition Universelle in Paris.
    Picasso chose Guernica as his subject.
    • The painting shows a series of terrifying scenes showing
    the brutality of war and its destructiveness.
    World War II
    • World War II began in
    1939. The Germans
    invaded and conquered
    France.
    • Picasso could have fled,
    but he decided to paint
    and sculpt.
    • Much of his work took on
    a somber mood, but by
    staying in Paris, the artist
    became a symbol of
    freedom.
    World War II
    After the War
    • In spite of the war,
    Picasso’s fame
    spread all over the
    world.
    • His lithograph of the
    dove became the
    International symbol
    for world peace.
    A Celebration of Peace
    The Final Years 1954-1973

    • Picasso spent his last years as a celebrity-his art


    as well as his person became a myth.
    • In this period, Picasso spent a large amount of
    time reworking masterpieces by other painters,
    such as the Velazquez seen above.
    Pablo Picasso 1881-1973
    • Picasso died at the
    age of 91 in April
    1973.
    • His remarkable talent
    was beyond dispute
    and remains a
    profound influence on
    twentieth century art.
