Picasso's father's name is Don Jose Ruiz blasco. After his brother died, Jose began to work to support his family. He loved art very much and wanted to be a painter when he was young, but he didn't succeed in the end. 1880, Jose met Maria Picasso Luis, and soon they got married and gave birth to Picasso.
Picasso's mother Maria often said: "If my Pablo joins the army, he will definitely become a general;" If you are religious, you can be pope! "But Picasso became a painter.
Ps: Spanish names generally adopt the compound surname system, first name+father surname+mother surname, so Picasso's full name is as follows:
Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de paula Juan Napo Musino Maria Deloose Remidios Cipriano de la Santiago Sima Trinidad Luis Picasso
Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain in 188 1. At this time, Jose worked as an art teacher in Malaga and concurrently served as the curator of Malaga Museum. Influenced by his family, Picasso picked up a brush very early to imitate his father's paintings. It is said that Picasso used pictures to express his thoughts when he could not speak, and the first thing he said after he learned to speak was "Pitts", which means pencil (Spanish).
When Picasso was four years old, he was fascinated by paper cutting. He always cuts out all kinds of animals, flowers and novel patterns, and then puts them on the window for everyone to enjoy. His sister Laura likes paper-cutting very much, and always pesters Picasso to draw various small animals for herself. Because the cutting is very vivid, her sister has always liked it. Picasso also created paper-cut works as an adult, and the lines in paper-cut also influenced Picasso's later creation.
In a few years, Picasso will have a hard time when he is older and starts to go to school. He recalled, "It was incredible. As soon as I started class, I stared at the wall clock, raised my eyes and cocked my head like a big idiot. "
Especially in math class, "I repeatedly remind myself to concentrate, 1+ 1 equals ... I can't think, think again, equals ... equals 1 point! No, no, I'm distracted ... draw a picture of the teacher. " Picasso scribbled on his textbook because he couldn't attend class. "Because I was a bad student," he recalled, "I was often confined-but it became my pleasure because I could sit on a small bench, take out my notebook and draw happily." "This is not so much a punishment as a holiday in disguise. I even deliberately provoked some right and wrong and let the teacher punish me. "
From 65438 to 0889, Picasso created the first oil painting in his life, The Matador on horseback, with a clear and vivid picture. Bullfighting is a traditional sport in Spain, which has great influence in Spain. Picasso's father Jose is a bullfighter, so is Picasso. Since then, Picasso has created a large number of works of art with bulls as the theme, and expressed his views on sex and gender relations and social hot issues through artistic techniques such as cubism and surrealism. Picasso said to himself, "If I mark the road I have traveled on a map and connect it with lines, I think it will probably present the image of Minotaur in the end."
Picasso also likes to draw pigeons. There is a square in front of his house, where many pigeons often hover. 1950 Picasso painted a flying pigeon with an olive branch to commemorate the World Peace Conference held in Warsaw. At that time, the famous Chilean poet Nie Luda called it "the dove of peace", and the dove was officially recognized as a symbol of peace.
1890 65438+In February, in order to save money, the Malaga municipal government cancelled the post of director of the Malaga Museum, and Jose's income was reduced by half. Forced to make a living, he looked for a job everywhere. 189 1 year, he received an offer from Dagar Art School in La Coruna, and his family went to La Coruna. La Coruna is located in the northwest corner of Spain, adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is very different from Malaga, and it rains all day.
Picasso's father had no pastime in La Coruna, so he concentrated on Picasso. Picasso later recalled: "Every time I draw a person, I think of my father. For me, men mean Don Mu ... "
In his second year in La Coruna, Picasso was allowed to study in Dagar Fine Arts School and receive professional and systematic teaching. Contrary to Picasso's incompetence in cultural classes, Picasso's talent in art is really enviable. The effect is excellent, and the sketch drawn is accurate, distinct and vivid. I also fell in love with a girl named Angelis briefly at school, but when the girl's parents knew about it, they transferred her to Pamplona to study, and this relationship ended in vain.
During his stay in La Coruna, Picasso kept in touch with his good friends in Malaga. He claimed that this letter was "La Coruna Pictorial", in which he introduced the local conditions and customs of La Coruna to his good friends in the form of pictures and texts. And put an advertisement at the bottom of the pictorial decently.
1895, Picasso suffered a major blow. His other sister Conchita was infected with diphtheria, an acute infectious disease. Picasso has deep feelings for his loved ones. If his sister can get better, it is useless for Picasso to try his best not to paint for life. But unfortunately, my sister died in the end.
In the same year, due to the job transfer of his father Jose, the Picasso family moved to Barcelona. Before going to Barcelona, Jose held an exhibition for Picasso, which was the first exhibition in Picasso's life. The location was behind a small grocery store, because Picasso 14 years old at that time, not many people bought paintings, but many people saw them.
On my way to Barcelona, I passed the Prado Art Museum in Madrid. Velazquez, Goya and greco have the largest collections. Visiting father and son together is very helpful for Picasso to broaden his horizons.
After arriving in Barcelona, Jose managed to persuade the school to let Picasso take the entrance exam, and Picasso was finally admitted.
In the works of the senior high school entrance examination, the standing model frowned and looked dignified.
1895 created The Old Fisherman, based on the life of Malaga. The fisherman in the painting is dull and old, and suffers from life.
1896 created "the first communion" and was successfully selected for the local art exhibition. The whole picture is solemn, and the white gauze girl reads the Bible sincerely, satirizing the hypocritical religion with the sincerity of the girl.
In the same year, Picasso's father looked like an old fisherman. Both of them are running for their lives and sacrificing everything for their families.
In the painting, Jose holds his head in his right hand and looks straight ahead, as if he is worried about the future.
Picasso's mother is kind, but the overall tone is also cold.
His works were exhibited, which greatly inspired Picasso's creation. In order to support him, his father tried his best to make a studio dedicated to Picasso.
Picasso lived up to expectations. 1897 Created Science and Philanthropy, 1897 was exhibited at Madrid National Art Exhibition. The science in the title refers to the doctor, and the prototype is his father Jose. Then fraternity is a nun. This painting makes Picasso one of the best painters in Barcelona, and he is also famous all over the country.
From then on, Picasso was determined to pursue his dream, went to Madrid to take the exam of san fernando Academy of Fine Arts, and entered the school with excellent results. But what he didn't expect was that the school still used traditional academic teaching methods. Picasso felt very conservative. As a "horse drifter", he had neither family nor friends. Coupled with the hardships of life, he contracted scarlet fever, returned to Barcelona for illness and recovered in Arta. Alta is a beautiful mountain village. In addition to enjoying the natural scenery there, it also went deep into the farmers and created the "Aragon custom" in 1899.
10 months later, he returned to Barcelona, where he created many portraits with his sister Laura as the model, such as "The Portrait of Laura". In addition, he frequented a bar called Four Cats Hostel. 1900 In February, with the help of friends, Picasso held his first art exhibition in four guest houses in Barcelona.
In June 5438+10, my best friend Casa Gamas and I left for Paris and lived in Montmartre. Influenced by Cezanne, Gauguin and others, I added bright colors to my works, like Nana.
In Paris, Picasso met an art dealer, Magnac. At first, their cooperation was pleasant, but soon Picasso began to dislike Magnac. 1900, he returned to Barcelona and held a very successful exhibition. Manjak invited Picasso to hold an exhibition in Paris, but the response was mediocre, and the failure of the exhibition aggravated the contradiction between them. Manjak was dissatisfied with the pain in Picasso's works, and Picasso was dissatisfied with Manjak's interference in his own creation.
1902,65438+10, Picasso returned to Barcelona again, but Manyakren held two exhibitions for Picasso. 1902,65438+10 In October, Picasso returned to Paris to pursue art. He shared a single room with Max Jack, and they took turns to rest. The second time I went to Paris, at the most difficult time, 1903 stopped in Barcelona for a short time, and 1904 finally settled in Paris.
During his stay in Paris, Picasso often went to the Moulin Rouge ballroom. What did he do?
Dancing? Of course not. I want to worship. Who am I chasing? Henri Lautrec, a French master of modern painting, is famous for Moulin Rouge, which is good at expressing the bohemian life of Paris artists.
Picasso said, "I didn't realize the greatness of Lautrec until I came to Paris." Then, I studied Routlek's Moulin Rouge, and combined with my life in Montmartre, I created Bakery Ballroom. There is also a picture of a woman drinking absinthe, which is also imitated by Routlek.
An overview of Picasso's youth;
Picasso in his youth was in the stage of art study, and his technique was academic. Because his family was not rich, his family and friends died, and his works often used realistic techniques with melancholy feeling.
