PICASSO, Pablo
1881 Málaga – 1973 Mougins (near Cannes). Cubism
Pablo Picasso is probably the most important figure in the 20th Century art. Time Magazine art critic Robert Hughes once said "”To say that Pablo Picasso dominated Western art in the 20th century is, by now, the merest commonplace. Before his 50th birthday, the little Spaniard from Malaga had become the very prototype of the modern astist as public figure. No painter before him had had a mass audience in his own lifetime ". He was born October 25, 1881 in Malaga, Spain and by the time he died in France in April 1973, had created a staggering 22,000 works of art in a variety of mediums, including sculpture, ceramics, mosaics, stage design and graphic arts.
In 1937 he produced his "Guernica" for the Spanish pavillion at the Paris World Exhibition, using abstraction, deformation and anatomical dissection to express the feeling aroused by the bombardment of the town by the German air force. During the Second World War Picasso lived in Paris, painting deformed, tortured heads of women and severe still lifes, and he wrote the Surrealist piece "How to catch desires by their tails". After the liberation of Paris in 1944 he joined the French Communist Party, and in 1946 he moved to the Côte d’Azur. He turned to designing pottery in 1950 and began exploring the works of old masters, producing variations on paintings by Velázquez, Delacroix and Manet.
As critic Huges notes, "There was scarely a 20th century movement that he didn’t inspire, contribute to or -in the case of Cubism-, which, in one of art history’s great collaborations, he co-invented with George Braque-beget.". Pablo Picasso died on April 8, 1973 in Mougine, France, while he and his wife Jacqueline entertained friends for dinner. His final words were " Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can’t drink any more ". In addition to his manifold artistic accomplishments, Picasso had a film career, including a cameo appearance in Jean Cocteau’s "Testament of Orpheus". Picasso always played himself in his film appearances. In 1955 he helped made the film "Le Mystere Picasso (The Mystery of Picasso)".
