When he was young, he amazed friends by drawing a perfect picture without lifting his pencil or looking at the paper. Pablo has many different periods in his artwork. They are the pink period and the blue periods. The blue period was from 1901 - 1904. It refers to a series of paintings in which the colour blue dominates. One example is "Breakfast Of a Blind Man" by Pablo Picasso. ( Image from When Picasso's close friend Carlos Casagemas commits suicide, Picasso's trauma finds expression in a series of deeply sentimental paintings which comprise his blue period. The pink period ( also known as the rose period) occured from 1904 - 1906. Picasso switched from the blue period which comprises of paintings in the "blue style", dark coloured and downbeat into the pink period. The pink period which are somewhat more optimistic in mood and brighter coloured often using the colour pink. He even created a new way to sculpt and paint! The way he created to sculpt and paint was called cubism. Cubism is the seperation of the subject into cubes and other geometric forms in abstract. Cubists created an abstract, non-represental method od painting to depict three dimensional objects on a two dimensional plane while preserving multiple perspectives. His work was an important step in Modern art. Picasso painted things the way he saw and felt about them. The way he saw things wasn't always as they really were. He kept on working right up to his death in 1973. Photo taken from Google
