A description of his work

Picasso explored many styles throughout his painting career. He painted more realistically during his Blue and Rose periods- each of which was characterized by paintings with blue and rose-colored hues. Later, Picasso experimented with both analytical and synthetic cubism. In his cubist paintings he painted people and things as abstracted shapes-- circles, squares, and triangles. In addition to painting, Picasso experimented with other art forms like sculpture.

Pablo Picasso Says..."Every child is an artist. The problem is

how to remain an artist once he grows up."

Interesting of his art

Picasso's main style was called cubism. He invented this style himself later in his life during the year 1907. Cubism was an early 20th-century art style dealing with the painting and sculpting of objects represented by geometric forms. This style didn't use realistic details, however focused on abstract details using large, intersecting, transparent cubes and cones often in the painting

Examples of his work

Examples of his workAnother key painting of Picasso

was his simple bird drawing a symbol of peace. Picasso donated it the Soviet backed World Peace Congress of 1949. It was rather sad that the Stalinist ideology of Communism betrayed the aspirations of peace loving Socialists like Picasso.

Examples of his workDora Maar au Chat (Dora

Maar with Cat) is a 1941 painting by Pablo Picasso. It depicts Dora Maar, the painter's lover, seated on a chair with a small cat perched on her shoulders. This painting is one of the world's most expensive paintings.
