There are three Picasso museums in the world, one in Paris, one in Rue de Moncada, in Barcelona's Old Town, and one in Malaga.

Many of Picasso's paintings and engravings are collected here, and the museum houses thousands of Picasso's works, ranging from oil paintings to drawings, prints, and pottery sculptures.

There are also Picasso's autographed manuscripts, books illustrated by him, and a collection of paintings by Pargo, Rousseau, Miró, and Renoir.

Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie are really happy to see the works of these painting masters.

They only had a superficial understanding of European oil painting before, and did not study it in depth, but Director Xia Yuxiang and Professor Abner took everyone to visit the Picasso Museum, and everyone was very happy.

Meng Wenjie said: "I have heard of Picasso, a master painter, but I know very little about his life and his paintings.

"Yes, Professor Abner is an expert, he knows everything!" said Head Xia Yuxiang.

Professor Abner smiled, "Since Director Xia has spoken, I will introduce Picasso to you, only by understanding the life of this painter, how he grew up, who he met, what things he experienced, only by sorting out clearly, can we understand why he can create these amazing works!"

"Picasso is a Spanish painter, sculptor, the founder of modern art, the main representative of Western modernist painting, Picasso is the most creative and far-reaching artist in the contemporary West, and the greatest artistic genius of the 20th century. ”

"Picasso's artistic career lasted almost all his life, and his works were rich and varied, and later generations have described Picasso's varied art forms as 'Picasso is always young'. ”

Picasso was a prolific painter, and according to statistics, his works totaled nearly 37,000 pieces, including 1,885 oil paintings, 7,089 drawings, 20,000 prints, and 6,121 lithographs. ”

If we talk about the life of this great painter, we have to start with his birth, Picasso was born in 1881 in Malaga, Andalusia, Spain, Picasso was very talented from a young age, he could make vivid paper cuts, and he also created many amazing paintings, and his neighbors praised him as a genius. ”

However, this genius was not a good student, and the class was nothing short of torture for him, and when he listened to the lecture, he either fantasized endlessly, or looked out the window at the trees and birds, and Picasso became the object of ridicule by his classmates. ”

As a bad student, confinement at school has become a common thing for Picasso, and there are only benches and empty walls in the confinement room, but Picasso is happy, because he can bring a stack of paper and paint freely there, with the support of his father, Picasso immerses himself in the world of imagination every day, although his homework is not good, he finds happiness in the world of painting. ”

Qu Lihua was inspired, she asked: "It seems that Picasso has a great talent for painting since he was a child, he is very good at fantasy, immersed in the world of painting, and other children are very different from childhood.

Professor Abner nodded, "Yes, every child is different, just like there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, everyone understands the truth, but not every teacher is a child's Bole, and they can find out that they are Maxima!"

Of course, like many artists, Picasso's life also had its ebbs, during this period the background of the works was blue, the figures were blue, the hair, eyebrows, and eyes were blue, and the blue dominated all his works, the background was simplified, avoiding the sense of light and depth, and the figures were combined into a simple pattern, in which the heavy, strong and flowing lines gave the impression of an unreal, virtual world. ”

"This kind of line has an emotional weight, and most of the painter's later works have the characteristics of this expressive line, which is derived from the observation of human movements and postures. ”

This period was also a period of Picasso's attention to real life, he had not yet departed too far from the ordinary people to pursue some philosophical rather artistic expressions, at that time, the blue color was a symbol of poverty and the end of the century, so the works showed more poor and embarrassed lower-class people, and the figures in the paintings were thin and lonely. ”

Picasso's preference for blue was because it represented melancholy, and it was in that monochromatic palette of light blue, powder blue, dark blue, and azure blue that Picasso began to embark on his path to success. ”

Later, Picasso found love, and the warm, delicate rose red replaced the hollow abstract, heavy depression of blue, and youth and love appeared vividly on the canvas, often in the image of some youthful beauty or burly people. ”

Thus began the rosy period, Picasso's oil paintings entered a completely new world, Picasso entered his first classical period, he heralded a new trend in Picasso's artistic thought, he pursued the simple lines of the classical style, symmetry and eternal harmony, the thick shape was as concise as a statue, and the modeling figures began to bring a certain geometric edges and corners and simplified structures, no longer using any rose and light blue, but using simple brown yellow, and at the same time, trying to emphasize and maintain the balance of the picture。 ”

In 1906, Picasso became acquainted with Matisse, who discovered black sculpture from the Fauvist giant, and from then on became fascinated by black sculpture, absorbing its artistic essence into his own work. ”

In 1907, Picasso embarked on a work of great significance, which was a summary of his experience and marked the beginning of his future activities in the direction of modernism: Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. ”

The Spanish painter's focus was not on color as in Fauvism, but on form, and he used a flexible and layered, powerful, expansive and generalized plane to combine the structures of the form as he pleased, and these planes even developed beyond a single object to encompass the entire surrounding space. ”

Soon after, Picasso founded Cubism, and although Picasso's neoclassical paintings depict three-dimensional structures in three-dimensional space, their charm is very different from that of traditional classical paintings, and the huge structure and human body shape all express the painter's attention to the interrelationship between lines, surfaces and volumes, as well as the space they form. ”

"Soon, Picasso entered into the most mysterious 'surrealist' exploration of his life, and he began to appear in public as a bohemian person, a man who longed to share his artistic inspiration and fame, but who were only given a void and brutal reality. ”

Picasso's painting style and style have changed several times in his life, perhaps because of his sensitivity to the impermanence of the world and precociousness, coupled with his poor family background, Picasso's early work style is full of precocious melancholy, his creation is closely related to his life experience, who he met, experienced so many things, so many vicissitudes, these people and things affected him. ”

"As he himself said, 'I have my blood in every painting I make, and that's what my paintings mean,' and Picasso is one of the top 10 paintings sold at auction in the world. ”
