             PABLO PICASSO

Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer.  He is my favorite painter as you all know. I love intoducing him to eveybody. 

Picasso made valuable contributions to art throughout his entire 

life, but it was the invention of Cubism that secured his 

immortality

At the tender young age of 9, Picasso completed his first painting: Le picador, a man riding a horse in a bullfight.

 In this article, I want to share with you some interesting facts about him.

Firstly, his first words were "piz, piz", which is short for "lapiz", the Spanish word for pencil. He  was born an artist.

Secondly, his name was Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso. He was named after various saints and relatives. The "Picasso" is actually from his mother, Maria Picasso y Lopez. His father is named Jose Ruiz Blasco.

Lastly, his car still exist.   This is not exactly his car. Last year, 44-year-old mechanic Andy Saunders of Dorset, England, spent six months converting his old Citroen 2CV into a cubist work inspired by Pablo Picasso.

AND GUERNICA…

It is very beautiful and meaningful picture.  I admire Picasso’s painting skill and  sensibility whever I see Guernica. He cretaed Guernica after Spanish Civil  War. Picasso portrayed war’s cruelity voluminously.
