Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga in 1881
At birth, he was diagnosed with a respiration disorder and had cigar smoke blown up his nose. The first word he spoke as a child was “lapiz”. (Pencil in Spanish)
Before he learned to speak, Picasso had learned to draw.
Being the only male child in his family, Pablo was spoiled horribly.
Picasso detested school and preferred to stay with his father who became an art teacher in 1891. One evening Pablo’s father was painting/drawing/working on a picture of their pigeons then left, leaving his work incomplete. When he returned he found that his work had been finished very well. The drawing/painting was so beautiful that his father presented the then thirteen year old Pablo with his work tools and gave up painting/drawing.

Picasso’s eccentric style was considered brilliant by many critics of the time while others considered it upsetting.
He created faces using geometric shapes, such as squares and triangles, while not respecting the correct positioning of the nose and mouth.
Among Picasso’s most famous masterpieces are a portrait of American Writer Gertrude Stien and, without a doubt, “Guernica”, finished in 1937, which depicts the bombing of a small Basque village during the Spanish civil war. Guernica is a dramatic piece of work which perfectly depicts the monstrous horror of the war.

Picasso married twice, fathering 4 sons. He had many mistresses. He was almost 70 by the time he married his second wife; Paloma. When he turned 90 he was honored (eulogized is after you are dead) with an exhibition in the Louver in Paris.
Picasso created more than 6000 works during his life that are valued in millions of pounds today.
