Answer 2

Picasso was not an abstract painter...He was a cubist.
His work was one of the many artist attributed to the Modern Art Movement. The movement of art work after the Renaissance and before the contemporary period. 1908- 1920 There are thousand of websites and stories of urban myth and legend about pablo.
Two of my favotrite stories are about....
number one is his painting Guernica . The painting he did of the spanish american war. Analyst and critics always tried to find out the hidden meaning behind why he painted the painting only in values of gray..before his death he laughed and said it was the only colors he had at the time ..he was flat broke. So he took advantage of his pallete. The other story is that He knew his worth and used it to his advantage as well. He could never spend money because his signature was far more valuable than the object he intended to buy. Knowing this he would take a check in to a car dealership and it would never reach the bank. The car dealership or whatever his purchase was would keep the check. His signature was far more valuable than any material item so very few checks ever made it back to the bank. He could obtain anything without ever spending a cent...

Answer 3

Little things i remember . He did not like thin women and could not sit down with his chum Chagall to eat a meal as Chagall's girl friend was only what one would call fairly slim but it made Picasso feel ill .
And another story which i cannot quite remember every detail but A lady was passing by his studio when her car broke down and so she knocked on Picasso's door and he was very kind and helpfull and she telephoned etc . She did notice there were lots of pictures about and when she went out of the door Picasso gave her a drawing which she stuffed in herhand bag . Later that week she was clearing her hand out and found this rather odd drawing which she chucked in the bin... obviously years later she realised what she had done !

Answer 4

Are you writing a term paper? Email me and I'll send you the Works Cited page for the paper my daughter wrote last semester. [e-mail]. Or, I could just tell you now--the best source on Picasso is John Richardson's 2 volume set on the Life of Picasso. Then try Roland Penrose, Norman Mailer and Patrick O'Brian.

Answer 6

His work is called cubism. He liked to drink heavily and was quite a womanizer.
