PABLO PICASSO.

By:

Charo Cabanes.

PABLO PICASSO.

My name is Pablo Picasso.

I was born in the Spanish town of Málaga in 1881.

Ever since I was a boy, I liked to paint.

My father was a painter and Art Teacher.

PABLO PICASSO.

• My first drawings were of bulls and doves.

• I did them when I was just 9 years old.

A child with a dove.

PABLO PICASSO.My father passed on to me his love of doves and bulls.

PABLO PICASSO.

• I studied arts at La Coruña, Barcelona and Madrid.

• But academic studies never excited me...• My dream was to visit Paris.

PARIS IN BLUE AND PINK.• I arrived in Paris in 1900.• There I set about

discovering the artistic movements of the period.

• There was so much to learn!!!!

• Suddenly, my best friend Carlos died.

• I was very sad and I started to paint everything in BLUE.

PARIS IN BLUE AND PINK.

• Soon afterwards I fell in LOVE.

• I began to paint everything using PINK. • At that time I spent a lot of time at the circus. So,

I painted harlequins, jugglers and clowns.

A NEW WAY OF SEEING.

• Why paint things to look so real?• Could be there another way to

represent objects and figures?• Then he experimented with new

materials, made collages, sculptures, ceramics,...

• And he found a new language:

CUBISM.

WAR AND ART.• In 1935 the Spanish Civil War started.

• A new change took place in my life.

• I was shocked by a sad news:

• The Basque city of GUERNICA was cruelly bombed and destroyed in April of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War.

• I painted a mural as big as a wall, in one month.

I painted:

•THE GUERNICA.

I painted all in BLACK AND WHITE. No colours to show the suffering of the WAR.

With this electric light Picasso said that this is not a natural dissaster, this is a MAN MADE DISSASTER.

THIS IS A WAR.

What can you see?

A woman crying with her dead baby.

A bull watching the dissaster. A man burning!.

A soldier dead in pieces on the ground.

GOODBYE!• I lived an apassionate life.

• I never came back to Spain.

• I died in Mougins, France, on the 8th of April of 1973.

• I was 92 years old.

This is my portrait.
