  • Period: to

    Cubist Stage

    It was characterized by its treatment of nature, geometric figures presented on a single plane, without perspective. The objects and figures depicted bear little resemblance to their real appearance.
  • His first child was born

    His only legitimate son with Olga Khokhlova was born; he portrayed him on several occasions, for example: Pablo dressed as Harlequin
  • The three musicians

    We see the musicians in profile and from the front simultaneously, thanks to the overlapping planes, as if they were prints. Furthermore, the figures are conceived as if they were playing cards. The painting exudes a cheerful vivacity, even a kind of internal movement. On the left, we see a masked Pierrot playing the clarinet; on the right, a monk singing while holding a musical score; and in the center, Harlequin, a recurring substitute for the artist, playing a guitar.
  • Period: to

    Surrealism period

    In this new period, his works are filled with monstrous, large-scale figures with distorted forms. Notable works from this stage include Bathers by the Sea and The Dream.
  • Surrealism

    Esta etapa se caracteriza por manifestar y expresar los sentimientos y los sueños que tiene el artista mediante el uso de personajes monstruosos con formas distorsionadas. Ejemplo: Crucifixion
  • the dream

    It depicts a woman, more precisely his lover Marie-Therese Walter, lying asleep in an armchair with her head tilted to one side and her face split in two, her eyes closed, her arms folded, and her breasts exposed. In this painting, Picasso reduces forms to spherical volumes.
  • Expressionism

    xpressionism attempts to express and expose, in a critical and stark manner, the consequences of war. Paintings in this style are characterized by the use of broken and angular lines, as well as vibrant and contrasting colors. Example: Guernica.
  • Guernica

    The impetus that drove Pablo Picasso to create the scene depicted in this great painting was the news of the German air raids on the Basque town that gives the work its name. The chromatic restraint, the intensity of each and every motif, and the articulation of those motifs, determine the extreme tragic nature of the scene, which would become an emblem of the harrowing conflicts of contemporary society.
  • Death of his sister Dolores

    This painting was painted in Barcelona and is one of Picasso's most ambitious works.
  • death

    He died on April 8, 1973 in Mougins, France at the age of 91.
