Pablo Picasso

Picasso's self portrait

We went to the Picasso Museum in Barcelona and saw many pieces of Pablo Picasso's art. Pablo Picasso was one of the most well known and famous artists. His dad was a art teacher so Picasso stated at a early age. 

"First communion"

A lot of Picasso's paintings were oil on canvas or oil on wood. At the age of 13-14 he most of his paintings were natural portraits and landscapes. This was one of my favorite styles that he used.  At the age of 14 he entered a piece that was called The First Communion in a competition. This piece was a oil on canvas and was one of his first famous pieces of art.  I think Picasso was a amazing painter for his age!


In Pablo's mid 20's he took a trip to Paris. After the trip his style changed, and he made one of his most famous paintings. As his style changed his art became more colorful. For a while he did a style called still life.

I liked his new style because it was more colorful and bright. I felt like it was happier. His old style was dark and dull. I also liked his new style because it was different than other art, and it was really creative.
  
In 1973 at the age of 91 Pablo Picasso died.
