Bibliography
Pablo Picasso, a Spanish painter, born in the year 1881 in Malaga, Spain and from such a tender
age of 13 found his rightful place in art and painting as he grew and developed his brush skills, his
father being fascinated by the mastery and talent engraved in his son hence had to drop his tools
and paved way for Picasso. By age of 15, Picasso had his own painting studio and spent countless
hours perfecting on his skills and inevitably, he would prove to be amongst notable revolutionaries
of his time in the field of modern art. He developed to be listed top amongst the most influential
and dominant artists in the beginning of the twentieth century.
Over this period, he became the top-notch painter with an undeniably largest mass of funs after
him, not to forget of critics who found it hard to accept the tremendous changes and impact he
made in the development of modern arts. Over the entire of his career timeline, Picasso has created
an insanely tremendous number of painting which approximate to 20 000 paintings, ceramics,
theater stage designs, costumes, sculptures and carvings. With his ability to come up with art pieces
from a diverse selection of styles made him cut himself a notch above other artists hence got
himself a ‘one of the greatest artists in existence’ label. This is as evident by his elasticity in arts
and indulgence into other diverse areas namely printmaking and ceramics.
Traditionally, painters painted pictures with a single fixed perspective, which can be likened to
taking a photograph. There was a creation of illusion of background depth with the implementation
of standard conventions of linear perspective. Painting objects with a round shaped surface
enhanced its visual illusion to conveying a three-dimensional illusion. Pablo Picasso’s take on this
was that the accurate essence of a phenomena could only be conveyed by presenting it from various
points of view and at different spans of time. It was all about developing a way in which a

multiplicity of viewpoints could be represented on one picture plane through fragmentation of
various objects and uniting the fragments together,
Working alongside Georges Braque, a French painter, collagist and sculptor, Picasso pioneered
Cubism as well as making tremendous contributions to surrealism and symbolism in modern arts.
His immersion in Cubism fatefully saw him into inventing collage in which he conceived a picture
as an arrangement of different signs that used metaphorical elements to refer to objects. His
indulgence in surrealism was partially impactful in his art work by enhancing an expression that
was not as conspicuous throughout the trials in Cubism where he embarrassed a classical style in
art.
Cubism, a well-crafted and pioneered style of art, thanks to the co-founders Pablo Picasso and
Georges Braque, is a painting style well employed by Picasso in numerous of his masterpieces in
as much as he had implemented other diverse styles. Some of his previously used styles are Blue
Period, majorly used when he was undergoing a somber and depressing period. One of his
creations that he employed this style is ‘Blue Nude’. The Rose Period came after the Blue Nude
where things were warm and came with a sunrise sensation, having overcame some of the
challenges he encountered and depression he was suffering, not to forget having fallen in love with
Fernande Olivier who eventually became his lover.
Following the Rose Period was the African Influence in which Picasso captured the essentials from
nature with an aim of achieving a general surface that displayed the artist’s vision. In this stance
of time, the aesthetics of the African sculpture greatly influenced artists from Europe.

The development of Cubism was because of the confinement of various influences that led Picasso
to give his paintings more frame, weight and structure. The onset of developing this art movement
was in the year 1908. Analytic cubists analyzed the natural frames...
