Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso, born on October 25, 1881, in Málaga, Spain, and died on April 8, 1973, in Mougins, France, was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. As a co-founder of Cubism and creator of numerous revolutionary artworks, Picasso significantly shaped modern art. His versatility and innovative spirit extended across painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, and stage design.
Picasso began his artistic training in La Coruña and Barcelona before moving to Madrid and later Paris. In Paris, then the center of the art world, he was exposed to the works of Paul Cézanne, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, and the Impressionists, whose influences are visible in his early works. Cézanne's structural approach and the experimental use of color by the Impressionists had a profound influence on Picasso's development. Cézanne's work "Mont Sainte-Victoire" and Toulouse-Lautrec's works such as "At the Moulin Rouge" influenced Picasso's early artistic vision.
A significant turning point in Picasso's career was his Blue Period (1901-1904), characterized by melancholic themes and blue tones. These works, such as "The Old Guitarist" (1903), reflect the emotional depth and expressive power also found in the works of Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch. Van Gogh's "Starry Night" and Munch's "The Scream" exhibit a similar intense emotional resonance. The Blue Period marked Picasso's deep engagement with human existence and its suffering, similar to the existential themes in the works of Käthe Kollwitz.
The decisive break with traditional representation came with the development of Cubism, which Picasso developed together with Georges Braque from 1907. A key work from this period is "Les Demoiselles d’Avignon" (1907), which dissects the human figure into angular, geometric forms and paved the way for the Cubist movement. Cubism influenced many artists, including Fernand Léger and Juan Gris, both of whom became important representatives of this movement. Léger's "The City" and Gris's "Portrait of Pablo Picasso" are iconic works of Cubism. Picasso's and Braque's works during this time also influenced artists like Robert Delaunay and Francis Picabia, who integrated Cubism into their own styles, often colorful and dynamic.
In the 1920s, Picasso began to develop an interest in Surrealism and created works inspired by dreams and the subconscious. This phase of his career shows the influence of artists like Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí, whose surrealist portrayals of the unconscious and the dream world bear parallels to Picasso's works. Miró's 'Harlequin's Carnival' and Dalí's 'The Persistence of Memory' are iconic Surrealist works exploring similar themes and techniques. The works of Max Ernst and René Magritte, emphasizing the surreal and dreamlike, also reveal a spiritual kinship with Picasso's surrealist experiments.
