Pablo Picasso was born on october 25, 1881 in the city of Malaga in the Andalusian region of spain. He was the first child of Don Blasco and Maria Lopez. His family were fair off which means that they were middle class citizens. His father Don Blasco was a painter who specialized in depictions of birds and other game. Most of Picasso's life his father was a professor of art at the School of Crafts. Picasso had a passion for art at a very young age. According to his mother Maria his first words were "piz piz" which is the latin word for pencil. At the age of seven Picasso began to recieve artistic training from his father in figure drawing and oil painting. In the year of 1900 at the age of 19 he made his first trip to paris then europe which is the capital of art. During that time he was suffering from servere poverty, cold, and desperation. Much of his work was burned to keep him warm in the small room he shared with Max Jacob(his first perisian friend he meet in europe that helped him learn the language and literature). While in Europe he joined many art gallarys where his work began to get noticed and he began to get reconized.

While in paris and europe Picasso went into a peirod called the blue peirod which was from 1900 to 1904. During the blue peirod all of his paintings were either in the color of blue or blue- green only occasionally warmed by other colors. These sombered works were inspired by Spain but painted in Paris. Its also said that Picasso started the Blue peirod shortly after he heard of Casagemas death .Shortly after that he went on to a peirod called the rose peirod which was between 1905 to 1906. The rose peirod signified the time when Pablo's painting style used cheerful orange and pink colors in contrast to the cool, somber tones of the previous Blue peirod.

Sadly Picasso died at the age of 91 in the year of 1973. His life was long and abundant and still to this day he will be remembered. Not only for his drawing but for his legacy. Thanks for taking the time out to read! (Picasso's Blue Peirod)     (Picasso's Rose Period)
