About Pablo Picasso 1881-1973 - Century artist from Spain "Painting is stronger than me; it forces me to do what it wants." (Pablo Picasso) At the age of 12 he was able to paint like Raffael, at 20 no university professor was able to convey to him more great knowledge of art. When Pablo Picasso died at the age of 91, he left the world a total work of over 40,000 work - and the certainty that he was the most important artist of the 20th century. Pablo Ruiz Picasso (October 25, 1881 Malaga - April 8, 1973 Mougins) was looking for new artistic expression throughout his life. He always combined almost infinite ingenuity with courage to radical innovations. With incomparable versatility, his work presents modern art in an ever new design: lively, multifaceted and stimulating. Picasso's art always remains in question: women, Harlekine, flamenco guitars, peace dust and black bulls: What his eye also saw - it is and remains permeated by Picasso's irresistible charisma. In addition, his work inspires again and again because it cannot be pressed in a style, remains versatile and surprising. "Down with the style! Maybe God has a style? He created the guitar, Harlekin, the Dackel, the cat, the cat, the owl, the pigeon. Just like me. Elefant and whale, that's still possible, but elephant and squirrel? A wild mix! His image inventions are always Mirrors of his own life. His partner and his children as well as the bull's fight, for whom he was enthusiastic about life, represent the main topics in his monumental oeuvre. Picasso portrayed himself in numerous variations, but also historical painters such as Degas, Manet or Toulouse-Lautrec on the easel. Pablo Ruiz Picasso could be encouraged by every material and every technology to create new works of art: wax chalk, oil on canvas, silk, sculptures, ceramics - the versatility of the great Spaniard was overwhelming. Picasso's artist colleague Max Ernst once said: "... Nobody can arrive against him, he's genius." This judgment of the great surrealist underlines the unique rank that Picasso takes in the art history of the 20th century.
