Hello, I am Juri. Today I introduce a great artist, Pablo Picasso. Do you know him? I learned his history when I was a high school student. Mabey you imagine him a strange, unique or unskillful artist. But I don't think so. His all of pictures are really wonderful !! Please take a look at this picture.
This picture's title is "First Communion". it was painted by Picasso when he was fifteen years old. I was very surprised at his paintong skill ! Don’t you think so?
Picasso was born in malaga, spain. His first word since he was born was ’piz’. It means pencil in English. Very unique story :) His one of the most famous pictures is 'Guernica'. Have you ever seen this?
Guernica is very large picture, 3.5 by 7.8 meters. it was painted after spanish war. spanish goverment asked picasso to paint the cruelty of the war. He spent only one month painting it. Picasso’s works are categorized into periods; Blue period, Rose period, Cubism, Classicism and Surrealism. I like blue period. One of his friends died. That led this Blue period. So,during this period, he painted pictures with cold color such as blue, black and gray. Sadness was represented with these colors.
Hi, Juri!
ReplyDeleteI know 'Guernica', but I have never seen such a picture like "First Communion". I think he is a genius because he painted it when he was fifteen years old.

Hi, Juri.
ReplyDeleteI have ever seen 'Guernica', but I don't know this size! What a big picture it is!
I don' t know that he could draw a picture carefully. lol

What a huge picture - I wonder how he could make the sketch of it, or perhaps there was no sketch. Why do you think Picasso is so popular? What do you like about his work.
ReplyDeleteJust curious,
