Pablo Picasso was encouraged by his father, an art teacher, to follow him into the art scene and at a very early age it was clear that Pablo's natural talent would take him further than his father. He joined the Barcelona School of Fine Arts at the age of 14 and his father sacrificed his own art in order to help Pablo Picasso progress as quickly in his career and training as possible.
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 This period was superceded by a more positive reflection of subjects during Picasso's Rose Period which used a more pink set of tones.
Henri Matisse, Joan Miro and George Braques all became friends of Pablo Picasso after he moved to the capital of arts, Paris, in 1904. Here Picasso was introduced to new art movements by its very influences, such as French Fauvism and Picasso.
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's art was enveloped by a symbolic style as shown in his works "Guernica", "Dying horse" and "Weeping woman". Guernica represented the Spanish Civil War air-attack in suitable barbarity and was shown at the Paris World's Fair in 1937.
Guernica was stored in the museum of Modern Art, New York up until 1981. Picasso allowed it to return to Spanish's shores after the end of Fascist rule, and it was taken to the Prado Museum and the Queen Sofia Center of Art in Madrid.
