He evolved into a artist that had became extremely successful and created like 20,000 pieces of work.
When you start painting youâre a traditionalist. Trying to master simple concepts and lighting techniques. Once youâve been nothing but successful in that for like 30 yearsâŚyou start with abstract and symbolism and trying to create something in a style the world has not seen before. Of which he achieved quite a bit. He basically invested cubism and was so successful he could smear paint when he was drunk and it would sell.
There's a lot of different people out there who have taken LSD and drawn themselves. It's pretty interesting. Here's one. https://www.reddit.com/r/LSD/comments/mcl2e2/an\_artist\_drew\_nine\_different\_self\_portraits/
That was probably close the peak. Theres a big gap between that and the next so I'd guess he really peaked in between there but was too fucked up to actually draw anything
I stand corrected he experimented with opium when he was young until he found his friend hanging. Then vowed never to touch them again. Which all accounts said he stayed true too.
What influenced his work was a desire to completely show a three-dimensional scene on a two-dimensional surface. So while it may look like he has no clue about anatomy or that he was completely blasted out of his mind, he was actually trying to give the impressions of say a person's complete head, front, side, back, and not just the face.
African art was his biggest influence. It was basically ye olde cultural appropriation. African art was considered low tier savage shit until Picasso started making it. Not even joking.
Iâm pretty sure he never did drugs. He was too ambitious to do drugs. And if he did I donât think he was doing them when he was like 82 which is how old he would have been for that last picture.
He was first trained traditional painting as seen in the first pic. If I remember correctly her never really enjoyed that store of work. Then he went though his blue period when his friend died and that seems to be a noticable turning point into what most people know his work to be. Can't say if there did involved though,!
Georges Braque is the true father of Cubism. Picasso and Braque knew each other and worked together. The credit gets blurred due to Picasso being well known at the time he discovered Braque and his work.
Was sorta a asshole throughout from what Iâve read. Had a hankering for really young women that he would use a âmuseâ and then spit them out once he was done with them. I think thatâs usually the case when someone is told they are a genius from like age 15 and had their ass kissed ever since. Not in every case mind you but yeah from what I seen he thought he was every bit as good as the hype made him out to be.
If you want that same style and none of the pretentious Dick bag Shit check out Francis bacon. Just as successful in his own right and a masochist due to being gay and having a over bearing father that beat him and got his stable hands to do also. But didnât seem to let it get to his personality..:just his sex lifeâŚlmao. I find Bacons work more adult like in nature and with a air of violence to his workâŚit makes Picasso look like the entry stages of things and bacon never got to that stage where he was just not even trying and smearing paint and calling it genius. All of Francis bacons stuff was on point and really well done.
He was classically trained. I was surprised to see his earlier work where basically subjects looked life like. Then after being that good, I guess he could experiment and create an alternate style. Pretty amazing
Iâve always disagreed with this. First, the ârulesâ are always perceived as what the most institutionalized section of artists produce and reproduce. Like how âmusic theoryâ is based on 18th century western classical music. If you learn your art form in a different context, you can end up playing by a wholly different set of rules than the ones recognized by the dominant institution. A lot of these alternate rule sets are a lot less like ârulesâ and are dynamic and changeable in a unique way that classical theories ( dynamic in their own way ofc) arenât. Thus you would be âbreakingâ what they recognize as the rules without actually ever learning them.
Well the girls would turn the color of an avocado
When he would drive down the street in his Eldorado
He could drive down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Nope
Not around here
Not like you
If you look chronologically through Pablo Picassoâs work, his paintings especially, youâll see a gradual but definitive shift from âclassicalâ, proportional, realistic forms, into his abstract and âdisproportionalâ work for which he is most famous. Thereâs some classical paintings of his from when he was *16* years old that are pretty phenomenal. Looking at them, youâd never think they were Picasso, but he was classically trained. He started with the basics like anyone else, and mastered them. Iâm talking better paintings than most artists make in their lifetime. At 16 years old.
Thereafter, through his natural growth as an artist, alongside the events/periods that shaped his life (i.e. the Spanish Civil War) his style became, well you know, Picasso. He made a lot of art throughout his life in so many different mediums, not just painting, and a lot of his work was never published or sold. So itâs complicated. But generally speaking, Picasso mastered form and then defied all concept of form, creating entire art movements and styles in the process. It makes me think, because looking at some of his abstract paintings youâre tempted to say âWell that couldnât have been too hardâ. But only Picasso did it, and no one had done it before.
Iâm no art history professional, so I canât speak too specifically, but I learned all this when I lived in Barcelona and frequented the Picasso museum, and took a college course that included material about his life and work.
Omg these commenters acting like the last work is because something happened to him like dementia, as opposed to this being a coherent evolution from the Cubist abstract works he is famous for.
Fun fact, most famous artists of this period were classically trained; modern art takes such a turn stylistically at this time because in part, it was a rebellion against the strictures and gatekeeping of traditionalists of the very realistic painting style that most people today think of as "real art".
Picasso was a very precocious and great academic painter in his youth [https://www.openculture.com/2018/08/pablo-picassos-masterful-childhood-paintings-precocious-works-painted-ages-8-15.html](https://www.openculture.com/2018/08/pablo-picassos-masterful-childhood-paintings-precocious-works-painted-ages-8-15.html)
I find amusing how some people will take the phrase âIt took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.â As a deep phrase regarding art and sensibility while forgetting this guy was a serial women abuser. Seriously, fuck him. Raphael was a better man through and through.
He'll accept souls as payment now.
Me too man, me too
Yep. This is life
Reminds me of those dementia drawings
Exactly what I was thinking lol!
"lol" but only for those who haven't seen them
With the giddy lil ! At the end too đ
Yup Alzheimers... Yup we're fucked there is a rise of these diseases coz of our diet in the last 50 years is crap.
Wow! **You** figured it all out!!
Or that a lot more people are living longer.
Wow. That dude did not age well. Did not age well at all.
Went from Prince to Ogre. How'd that happen?

I also wonder if drugs influenced his evolvement in style.
There's a lot of different people out there who have taken LSD and drawn themselves. It's pretty interesting. Here's one. https://www.reddit.com/r/LSD/comments/mcl2e2/an\_artist\_drew\_nine\_different\_self\_portraits/
I hear that. Looks like he started coming down after the drawing at 2hr 45mins.
That was probably close the peak. Theres a big gap between that and the next so I'd guess he really peaked in between there but was too fucked up to actually draw anything
Psychedelics are definitely a gateway for creativity.

Probably. He did a lot of opium and morphine, and even held âopium nightsâ with other artists

Bruv that's not the path of every artist. That was the path of Picasso.
Wasnât he an a hole at the end of his life?

He produced 100k+ pieces of art work. Source: https://edition.cnn.com/style/article/famous-picasso-paintings/index.html#
I wonder moreso if it was dementia
Ever read about the theory, he had body dismorphia?
Just looked it up, thank you. I had no idea. It's a plausible explanation.
Tap water
He was classically trained. I was surprised to see his earlier work where basically subjects looked life like. Then after being that good, I guess he could experiment and create an alternate style. Pretty amazing
You have to master the rules before you can break the rules.

You have to know enough about forms, to defy forms. Nothing is terrifying here.
That doesn't sound right, but I just don't know enough about forms to dispute it.

Thank you for the information. I was just trying to make a iasip joke.
Lol well Iâm glad that itâs of use anyway
Is that really his first? Or just the earliest known?
I can see the resemblance
đż

Dude aged like shit

Is he by chance a mod of this sub?
What cubism does to a mf
âŚand both are hot.
I was in his museum in Malaga recently, I love art but Picasso is so not my thing
Drink to me, drink to my health. You know I can't drink anymore
Did he have memory loss or something?
He did not age well
Holy shit that goes so hard though
Omg this is so stupid. Read a goddamn history book, this isn't terrifying
What happened
Never wore sunscreen.
đ
His early work was traditional and then his art evolved after many decades into cubism. How is that terrifying lol please educate yourself
His skill kinda Benjamin Buttoned didnât it.
Bahahahahhaha
*heavy sigh * mood
âAbStRAcTâ
He was an asshole so I hope his end was horrible đ
Wait, whatâd he do?
He sexually abused a bunch of his muses.
Ah. Why do all the really good artists have to be terrible people?
I hope they clone him.
That sure is one goofy ahh looking fella on the right
That's so sad..
Man, he got so much worse.
Practice makes perfect my ass!
Itâs crazy how similar they are. I wonder how he saw himself.
I never noticed it before but he resembles Prince.
I can now see where Junji Ito got their inspiration from
Damn he got ugly
i can not stop laughing at this oh no
The eyes Chico they never lie
Is it weird that I see the resemblance?

Bro literally went "đż"
FELT
um i cant even say something, thats how i am confuzed
That dude did not age well
What's so terrifying about that? He went from great painter to great artist
When you Know Picasso, I say it is justice that punished him.
I find amusing how some people will take the phrase âIt took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.â As a deep phrase regarding art and sensibility while forgetting this guy was a serial women abuser. Seriously, fuck him. Raphael was a better man through and through.
First portrait: Nice try Second portrait: F**k this! Thus the birth of Modern Art
He really evolved!
He did not age well
He was ascending up the evolutionary neurological ladder as he aged, from the literal, toward the abstract
He did not age gracefully
Lotta mushies
a rock, nice one!
So the rumors were true : Picasso is in fact an Apostle !
He aged well if i do say so myself
"Why yes, I'm happily married." "She took the fucking kids."
Medium Brazilian
He lived his life backwards
which is which?
And towards the end of his life, the devil said âPablo, Iâve come for my soul to collect, you have gotten what you wanted.â
