As Pablo Picasso once said, “Painting is a blind man’s profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.” Picasso’s passion for art started at a young age, getting his passion for art from his father. Pablo Picasso is known for the innovative techniques he introduced to the art world. Each being influenced from his life around him, to modifications in the colors he utilized, or transitioning to an unorthodox style of painting, and even practicing printmaking.

     In 1937, Pablo Picasso painted Guernica, oil on canvas. The Republican Spanish government commissioned the mural for the 1937 World Fair in Paris. Guernica is a large mural, twenty-six feet wide and eleven feet tall, and was placed at the entrance to Spain’s pavilion. Picasso did not do any work after receiving the commission until reading of the bombing of the Basque village of Guernica, in Spain. It was that attack, perpetrated by the German Luftwaffe, that inspired him. Guernica, however, is not a complete depiction of that event. In Guernica, Picasso masterfully conveys the suffering of the Basque people and the tragedy of war. He seeks not to report on every detail of the bombing, but only to

I want to start off by discussing when and where Paleolithic cave paintings originated. During the Paleolithic Era that lasted from 30,000 BCE to 10,000 BCE, the first achievements in human creativity happened. Paleolithic cave paintings demonstrate civilizations early ability to talk to each other and their interpretations of their surroundings. Lascaux Cave is one location where these cave drawings were discovered. The cave is located in Lascaux, France. It has nearly 2,000 drawings that can be divided into three different types: people, geometric signs and animals. Drawings of humans were very rare and when they were compared to the more detailed and life-like images of animals, the human figures seemed meek. When it comes to the animal

Through his training he became proficient in countless fields but was predominately a painter and famously explored the Cubist movement. Cubism was an art movement developed in the early 20th century that was concerned with the dissembling of images and their analytical or synthetic reconstruction, as well as the refinement of detail and emphasis on bold shape. Picasso found artists such as Delacroix, Cezanne and Manet extremely influential, as well as his artistic father, Jose Blasco. Through his challenging of convention to his persistent experimentation of concepts he created some of the greatest artworks of the 20th century, such as The Old Guitarist, 1903, Les Demoiselles d’ Avignon, 1907 and his most well-known piece Guernica, 1937.

On October 25, 1881 Pablo Picasso was born in Málaga, Spain. Also known as Pablo Ruiz, he was known for being a very successful artist in the twentieth century. Picasso was many things such as a sculptor, painter, printmaker, ceramicist, and the creator of Cubism, alongside Georges Braque. He was a very prosperous artist at the time while still impacting the people of today.

Discuss the meaning of Paleolithic cave paintings like the ones at Lascaux. Why are they there? What was their purpose? What do they mean?

Pablo Picasso is one of the most infamous artists of modern history. His interesting and controversial works introduced new styles and techniques in creating art. Picasso was a Spanish artist and got his fame during and after World War II. He began to get popularity in Spain, and eventually created works surrounding the Spanish Civil War that would soon start. His works would often depict the war and the suffering it caused. However, following the war and the nationalist victory, most of Picasso’s works were banned and he was forced to flee to France. There, he spent the rest of his life, creating many new masterpieces. These included his renditions of Las Meninas.

Picasso was noticed at an early age; he was a student at the Barcelona Academy of Fine Arts (Rowland et al). At such a young age Picasso had so much talent, "Everything you can imagine is real" (Feifer et al). His imagination was so important, it made up what his art is. All of his talent was noticed and then he became big; he kept practicing his love for art and became an inspiration

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was an artist, a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright. Between 1901-1904 Picasso went through a period where he essentially only painted using the colour blue and blue-green and occasionally he added warmer colours(3), his blue paintings portray destitute human beings. At the time, in Paris where Picasso was during his blue period, he was far from friends and family, an unrecognised artist who lived in extreme poverty. “It was thinking about Casagemas that got me started painting in

Pablo Picasso, a Spanish painter and sculptor was of the most influencal artists of the twentieth century, he is also known for developing the cubist movement. Picasso created more than 20,000 works of art and his work can be catergorized into periods, His later works include surrealism and realism. Picasso was influenced by many famous artists including Paul Cezanne and it was Cezannes work of three dimensional form that inspired him to develop cubism alongside French artist Georges Braque, who had visited Picassos studio to view his painting “Les Demoiselles d Avignon” (1907). At first glance Braque is reported to have said “Listen, in spite of your explanations, your painting looks as if you wanted to make us eat tow or drink gasoline and spit fire” but after a further

The walls of caves were their canvas; this today is known as “Cave Paintings.” Paleolithic’s were emerged into this method while Neolithic’s did more wall paintings and rock carvings. The paintings of the Paleolithic Era showed pictures of humans and animals “full of energy” as Sinnigen says (14). They told stories, taught lessons, or showed what they saw in their everyday lives (Stokstad 8). Stavrianos acknowledges a painting found in the Cave of Trois-Freres in France, “Sorcerer”, known to represent a legend about a sorcerer summoning animal spirits to hunt successfully (16). Stokstad gives another example of the Cave Paintings, “Bird- Headed Man with Bison”, believed to share a story about a legendary hunter (10-11) Stories such as this were used to teach the young hunters about animal behaviors with the pictures of animals and their prints (Stokstad

“Guernica” is one of the most well-known paintings in the world. It was painted by Pablo Picasso in 1937. The painting itself measures 11ftx 26.5ft. “Guernica” depicts the bombing of the Spanish town of Guernica during the Spanish civil war. The whole thing is done in a cubist style not surprising since Picasso is known for his cubism. In the painting there are people and animals alike all of them in pain and or suffering. “Guernica” is also filled with symbolism that Picasso incorporated into it, and hidden messages. The painting is also colorless it only uses black, white and, gray.

His experiments with African themes are considered to have concluded by the start of 1910, in favour of focusing on developing his (then) more successful 1908 experiments in "Analytical Cubism" into a coherent genre of painting. Nevertheless, Picasso never entirely abandoned his interest in Africa. Some much later work such as the painting Musician (1972) can be said to contain the same influences.

Whether it be source of beauty and inspiration, a tool of learning, or simply the means to deal with the constant struggles of life, art, containing both immense cultural and historical significance is undeniably a prominent focus in today’s society. When looking at the Altamira cave in Spain, the Chauvet cave in France, or Lascaux the “prehistoric sistine chapel” in France, and countless others, researchers can’t help but wonder what is the significance of these truly beautiful works of art? Found in nearly all regions of the world, cave art gives us a glimpse into the intellectual development of early man.

The first evidence of cave art appeared in Western Europe (Berenguer 67). Early cave paintings were characteristic of Western art. They were supported by an acute vision,
