Pablo Picasso biography and info:

• Pablo Ruiz y Picasso was born in 1881 in Andalucia, Spain, and died in 1973. He is widely regarded as the most important artist of the 20th century.

• In 1894 Pablo Picasso paintings appear in storefront windows in La Coruña, the town in Galicia where Picasso moved with his family in 1891.

• Picasso attended La Llotja art academy in Barcelon in 1895, and subsequently the Academia Real de San Fernando in Madrid in 1897.

• In 1900 Picasso exhibited a painting 'Last Moments' in the Spanish pavilion at the Universal Exposition in Paris, France, and a year later held his first solo paintings exhibition at the gallery of Ambroise Vollard in Paris. His 'Blue Period' began in the same year. Picasso settled permanently in Paris in 1904.

• Between 1904 and 1905 was Pablo Picasso's 'Rose Period' or 'Circus Period' in which he produced paintings of circus performers and social outcasts making good use of reddish hues.

• Picasso paintings in the artist's 'Classical Period' (1905) and 'Iberian Period' (1906) followed, marked by Picasso's less emotional involvement with his subject matter and a fascination for classical sculpture.

• Pablo Picasso paintings of the 'African Period' followed in 1907, during which Picasso's interest in African tribal masks is evident. A Picasso painting from this period, The Demoiselles d'Avignon, is regarded by many as the first true Cubist painting, though the term was not coined until 1908 by French critic Louis Vauxelles in reaction to Picasso's and Braque's landscape paintings in which forms were reduced to geometric shapes. These paintings were themselves inspired by the works of Cézanne.

• In 1912, in the Picasso painting Still Life with Chair Caning, the artist attached a piece of oilcloth to his canvas and instituted a new phase in Cubist painting, that of collage. This was mirrored by his use of Assemblage, the technique of bringing together many elements in sculpture.

• One of the artist's best known paintings is Guernica, painted in 1937. The painting was conceived when Picasso heard that the Spanish town of Guernica had been bombed by Nazi warplanes under the instruction of General Franco during the Spanish Civil War. Guernica was Picasso's condemnation of this.
