Who is the greatest artist in the 2th century? Picasso?

Pablo Luis Picasso was born on October 25th, 1881 in the port city of Malaga, Spain. My father is an art teacher in the city's art school. Later, he served as the director of the municipal museum; My mother is an Italian immigrant of Jewish descent.

Later, my father became a professor at the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts, and Picasso was sent to a technical school by his father. He still has no intention of studying, and he is addicted to painting all day, and his painting level is improving rapidly.

In the autumn of p>1897, Picasso came to Madrid, the capital, and was admitted to Fernan Academy of Fine Arts. He lived alone for the first time. At the same time, due to the award of Science and Kindness, Picasso's name has been noticed by some famous painters. When he returned to Barcelona from Madrid at the age of 18, he was already a mature young painter in the eyes of his family. At that time, Picasso participated in the activities of "Four Pigs Cafe", a literary salon composed of some young people in Barcelona. At this time, he had the idea of leaving Spain.

in p>19, Picasso came to Paris. He was first attracted by the colorful works of Impressionism, and then he felt the strong atmosphere of "Art Nouveau" rebelling against the academic tradition and pursuing artistic innovation, but at the same time he kept a distance from the decadent consciousness of "Art Nouveau". He is determined to embark on an independent creative path.

By this time, Picasso had connected with the art dealer, and his works began to be sold at a marked price, which brought economic income.

this period in Picasso's artistic career is called the "blue period" (191-194). His main works include: Life, The Artist Family and the Monkey, The Woman Ironing Clothes, The Poor People's Dining, Acrobats and Young Clowns, etc. During this time, he traveled back and forth between Paris and Barcelona, struggling to open up his own artistic world. His exhibition of paintings in Spain further expanded his influence. Some artists came to discuss with him the artistic method and the mission of art. He began to get acquainted with the famous three-dimensional futurist poet Abilene Nair. At the same time, his economic life is in trouble, so poor that he can't even afford fuel, and he can't stand the cold at night, so he has to burn the watercolors he made for a year to keep warm. It was in this hard time that Picasso met his first girlfriend Olivier. This girl from Jewish family brought warmth and joy to Picasso who was troubled by hunger, cold and poverty. The young painter who cheered up because of Olivier's sympathy, friendship and love painted The Actor with a bright and cheerful mood. The blue and other dark colors have been reduced, and the rose and pink that give people a fresh and carefree feeling have been added. This feature is more fully displayed in the painting "The Naked Woman Sitting", which has become an important symbol of Picasso's creation from the gloomy "blue period" to the bright and fresh "rose period" (194-196). During this period, Picasso was more widely recognized.

After p>196, the price of Picasso's works went up, and the painter Vlad was willing to pay 2 francs for one of his paintings. After his life improved obviously, he took Olivier back to Spain for a four-month holiday.

In the early years of the 2th century, the large color block paintings of Fauvism once aroused people's curiosity. However, Picasso is more influenced by Cezanne; Compared with the color-oriented Fauvism, he pays more attention to the shape, structure and modeling of things, and emphasizes the painter's subjective attitude towards external objects. From 196 to 197, the characters in Picasso's paintings gradually became bulky and heavy, which was quite close to geometric figures. After ideological and practical preparation, a kind of painting that embodies new ideas finally came into being. This is Picasso's famous painting "The Girl of Avignon" created in 197. It marks the birth of cubism.

Cubist painters got rid of the dependence and imitation on the outside world more thoroughly, and liberated painting from the bondage of traditional painting which emphasizes perspective and projection, that is, the visual limitation of human eyes. In this way, painting reflects not a perceptual side of the outside world, but a conceptual whole and polyhedron. Now, a painting looks very much like what people see when they walk around an object. Some of the pictures are not only visible to the naked eye, but also invisible to the naked eye-parts that can be recognized by imagination and understanding.

Picasso, the first work of cubism created in the studio of Laundry Boat, took more than four months from conception to completion in the spring of 197, and * * * drew 17 sketches, and finally finalized an oil painting with a vertical and horizontal dimension of more than two meters.

Picasso completely transcended and got rid of the limitation of the irradiation angle of light, and opened up a three-dimensional, four-dimensional, five-dimensional or even more vision, which made the imagination have wings and soar freely in the vast and infinite space.

during the first world war, the western art world, especially the art world, lost its vitality. Picasso saw that cubism could not save the whole painting world and extricate it from its predicament, so he temporarily turned his creative method to the track of realism, parted ways with Braque who insisted on pure cubism, and entered a new period of combining cubism with classicism-neoclassicism. His representative works include Balcony, Woman in an Easy Chair, Cake and Clown. The style of these works is simple, concise and clear, which shows that the strings of cubism can also pop up the tone of realism.

After the end of World War I and throughout the 192s, Picasso, on the one hand, used realistic methods to make paintings face life, and created masterpieces of classical style such as Mother and Son, Two Naked Women, Sitting Clown, etc., with rough, solid and dignified brushwork, full and thick images and permeated with humanitarian spirit; On the other hand, he didn't give up cubism completely, and produced Three Musicians, which surprised artists at that time and later. Since 1925, Picasso's paintings have shown more and more surreal characteristics. The violent social life made Picasso interested in Freud's psychoanalysis and subconscious theory, and began to express themes such as sexual impulse, lust, homosexuality, animalism, dreams, schizophrenia, life and death in figure paintings. Dancing is one of Picasso's masterpieces when he entered this creative stage. Other works of this kind include Women in Underwear in an Easy Chair, Kissing and Dreams.

During World War II, Picasso took refuge in a small port called Andibo in the south of France. He created "Andy Bo Fishing Night", which reflects the life of fishermen, to express his yearning for his motherland and hometown. He was still in occupied Paris, and he composed a beautifully shaped Bull's Head with bicycle cushions and handlebars to express his melancholy but not desperate mood.

in p>1944, introduced by Ai Lvya and Aragon, Picasso joined the French * * * production party. After the war, he took an active part in the struggle to defend peace. In 195, he painted The Flying Dove for the World Peace Conference held in London. Since then, Picasso's name has entered thousands of households all over the world, and it is well known to all ages.
