In the mid-1920s, Pablo? 6? 1 Picasso is already the most famous figure in Paris, and he wants people to know this. He went out in a limousine with his private driver. When receiving important guests, he likes to wear white silk pajamas and be accompanied by a Pyrenees sheepdog. He likes to hold a dinner party after the first performance in the theater. His wife, former ballerina Olga? 6? 1 Kohelova cooks himself, and then a housekeeper with white gloves brings the food to the table. One day, a man named Christian? 6? 1 An art collector in Zellworth visited Picasso in his Paris studio, and Picasso asked him if he would like to visit some other rooms. To Zevos' surprise, these rooms are not filled with works of art, but with large franc notes wrapped in newspapers like misers. John? 6? 1 Richardson wrote in the penultimate volume of the newly published four-volume biography Picasso's Life: moderns, 19 17- 1932: "Everything Picasso did was news."

Picasso has been the focus of news since the middle of the 20th century until this century. This raises the question: Why? Why can Picasso become an outstanding representative of modern artists by constantly changing the fragmented and unattractive color squares? Why not Henry? 6? 1 Matisse? Matisse's colorful fauvism paintings were already amazing before cubism appeared, and he still created excellent works before his death in 1954. Why not Marcel? 6? 1 Duchamp? As early as 19 14, the chess champion took the "ready-made" bottle rack as a work of art and walked to the forefront of modern art. He also exhibited a urinal named "Spring" in an important art exhibition three years later, which set a benchmark for the boldness of modern art. Otherwise, why not El Salvador? 6? 1 Dali? Dali's paintings have a surreal style, which looks surprisingly real and extremely strange. Picasso's uniqueness is the result of many factors, including being born at the right time, putting on a sexy coat for avant-garde art, political skills and, of course, outstanding talent.

the transition from the old to the new

This was not the case when he first started out. 1900, 19 Picasso did what a revolutionary artist should do: he went to Paris and almost starved to death there. It took him seven years to finally draw one of the most influential oil paintings in the world, The Maiden of avignon, and (with his companion George? 6? 1 Braque initiated cubism and turned the art world upside down. Being a Spaniard in Paris-a foreigner-helped Picasso a lot. He can see through the surface of things what the locals can't. Just like his agent Gertrude? 6? 1 stein said that in France, "houses are built according to the scenery, along the river, and they are all integrated here, which is not Spanish style at all ... Spaniards know that both the scenery and the houses, whether they are circles or squares, are not harmonious ... A Spaniard can naturally show this in the paintings of the 20th century, and nothing in this world is harmonious." Different from other artists, Picasso grasped the two driving forces of that period-old and new. For example, everything depicted in Painters and Models (1928) has been deconstructed and reassembled into an image riddle in a humorous way. In this painting, the model's face is exaggerated, with three eyes arranged vertically, or maybe two eyes and a mouth. The artist on the right side of the picture is a busy character, with a slender figure, a very long arm holding a brush, and a shorter arm imaginatively sticking out from under the belt, holding a palette shaped like a genitalia. Pornographic content is always easy to sell, which does not harm Picasso's career.

The pioneer of "rock" in the art world

Of course, he has many things that we call matter to describe. When we opened the third volume of Richardson's biography about Picasso, the artist was working for Sergei? 6? 1 dia Gilev's large-scale modern dance drama "Parade" designed beautiful women and costumes to resist his bossy mother Donna? 6? 1 Maria's forced marriage. He tried his best to catch Olga, but Olga insisted that Picasso marry her before he would sleep with him, so Picasso had to go to a brothel for recreation. Olga finally got her man on her terms at 19 17, but Picasso was soon annoyed at Olga's demand for respect. 1923, he sold the girl and bought a secluded studio in the building where he and Olga lived. 1927, the 45-year-old married artist saw 17-year-old Mary outside a department store in Paris. 6? 1 Therese？ 6? 1 Walter. Richardson said that she was "the little girl in Picasso's dream: a teenage blonde with touching dark blue eyes and precocious sexy figure-plump breasts, strong thighs, rounded knees and hips, just like Venus, the goddess of beautiful buttocks." Picasso said to her, "Your face is very charming. I want to draw a picture for you. I think we can do something interesting together. " Walter faithfully followed Picasso for 9 years without Olga's knowledge, and gave birth to a daughter for him.

Picasso pioneered the form of "rock music" in the art world, and then spent 70 years painting some modernist works at the peak.
