Pablo Picasso was immediately entered into the art world at a very young age by his father who quickly realised his talent and set about helping him to achieve his potential. He was rushed into the Barcelona School of Fine Arts at the tender age of 14 and progressed quickly.
The Blue and Rose Period represents Picasso's key periods from 1900 to 1906. The subjects of Picasso's paintings during his appropriately-titled blue period were symbolised as depressed and sad, or at least at the point of their capture in the paintings of Picasso. This period was superceded by a more positive reflection of subjects during Picasso's Rose Period which used a more pink set of tones.
Pablo Picasso moved to Paris permanently in 1904. Being the world's capital of arts, Paris helped introduce Picasso to other famous artists such as Henri Matisse, Joan Miro and George Braques. Henri Matisse in particular became a great friend to Picasso and they stayed close friends.
Picasso was a big fan of the works of Paul Cezanne and this was the inspiration for the newly founded art movement of Cubism, and later, Synthetic Cubism. Fellow artists George Braque and Juan Gris were also key to the principles of Cubism.
Picasso painted Guernica in 1937 as a protest against an air attack during the Spanish Civil War and is one of his best known paintings, not only for its quality, but also what it symbolised. His symbolic styles were continued in Dying horse and Weeping woman.
Guernica took pride of place in New York's museum of modern art up to 1981. It stayed away from Spain whilst Picasso rejected General Franco's fascist rule of Spain. After this it was taken to the Prado Museum and then the Queen Sofia Center of Art, both in Madrid, Spain.
