LovePicasso had a big family with four children and lots of grandchildren.
SculptureAlthough Picasso is best known for his paintings, he also created
sculptures. He used materials including iron and plaster.
HouseIn June 1930, Picasso bought a house
in Northern France. He turned one of the stables into a sculpture studio
where he made his artwork.
DogPicasso loved dogs. His large
St Bernard, called Bob, appears in many family photographs in
the 1930s.
Red chairIn 1932, Picasso painted a series of
portraits. They show a woman seated in a red armchair. She is reading,
sleeping and even dreaming.
ParisAfter studying art in Barcelona, Picasso moved to Paris at the
beginning of the 20th century, where he lived with other poor young
artists. Within a few decades he was celebrated and wealthy.
Calendar1932 was a very busy year for Picasso and he created lots of artworks. We think that he might have painted
some of his paintings in just one day. Mirror
Picasso often included props in his portraits. We can see plants, fruit, guitars and mirrors in many
of his paintings.
SeasidePicasso went on a family holiday to the seaside in Normandy. In some of his paintings we can see people at the beach and swimmers playing
with a beachball.
Painting Picasso liked to try new things and experiment in his art. Between the
two world wars he made works inspired by classical art, and was also interested in surrealism and cubism.
Fame In 1932 the first exhibition to look at a whole range of Picasso’s work
took place in Paris. It gained a lot of attention in the newspapers.
Birthday Picasso turned 50 years old in 1931.
We wonder if he had a big birthday party?
