Pablo Picasso Paintings

The son of an art teacher, Pablo Picasso started as a classical painter. The early works of Pablo Picasso paintings are largely categorized by their melancholic shades of blue, featuring poverty and loneliness of everyday life and came to be known as his Blue Period. The Old Guitarist, a classic work of art by the painter, is particularly representative of this period. His progression of work led to the Rose Period, as he explored more lyrical subjects such as acrobats, jugglers, and other performers.

Following flirtations with Symbolism during his Blue and Rose Periods, Picasso, along with his fellow artist Georges Braque took Primitivism a step further, developing a new form of painting known as Cubism. His painting, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907) is an unparalleled artistic innovation, heralding the avant-garde art movement that would come to profoundly influence 20th-century art and influencing contemporary architecture, music, and literature.

A master of endless reinvention, the creative styles of Pablo Picasso transcend realism and abstraction, surrealism, expressionism, contributing significantly to each of the art movements. All through his long and prolific career, he consistently pushed the boundaries of art to new heights. As a result of it, many of his fans keep an eye on the Pablo Picasso auction.
