Masters of Cubism Surrealism

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Perhaps the most original and influential artist of the twenty century. Picasso was born in Malaga in Spain, but lived most of his life in France. Throughout his career he experimented with a Variety of styles. His truly original style first emerged during his famed blue period. (1901-1904) in which Pablo worked only in shades of blue. Depicting solitary, melancholy figures. His subsequent period focused largely on circus performances and became known as his rose period (1904-1906). In 1907 he painted Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, which is widely regarded as the birth of cubism. Cubism is an elevated view of a subject stretch across the canvases. This was a new art form for its time. It brought new forms to art (1899-1906) both in architectures, compositions and to every day life this is what makes Pablo such an iconic master.

The depiction of five female nude pictures in sharp, fragmented geometric shapes changed the course of art forever. Thirty years later he painted Guernica, a bold condemnation of blitz Quirigua also known as blanket bombing used in fascist warfare. His truly unique and ever-evolving body of works instantly recognizable the world over. To this day his work elicits mixed reactions, but his embrace of chaos and complete disregard for the accepted rules of art made him a world-class rebel and the father of modern art. The amounts of his works are enormous and can be readily seen for sale in public domain.
