I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them. ”
-Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso was constantly updating his style, he did work from the blue period, the rose period, African influenced style, to cubism, surrealism, and realism. Not only did he master these styles, he was a pioneer in each of these movements, and influenced the styles to follow throughout the 20th century, from the initial works he created.
Pablo Picasso was a pacifist, and large scale paintings he created, showcased this cry for peace, and change during the time. A 1937 piece he created, after the German bombing of Guernica, was one such influential piece of the time. Not only did this become his most famous piece of art work, but the piece which showed the brutality of war, and death, also made him a prominent political figure of the time. To sell his work, and the message he believed in, art, politics, and eccentricity, were among his main selling points.
Many things Pablo Picasso did during the 1950s, conflicted with the general public. Viciousness towards his children, exaggerated virility towards women, and joining the Communist party, were some of the many scandals which he was involved in during his lifetime. Although most of the things he did were viewed negatively by a minority of the general public, admirers of Pablo Picasso turned a blind eye, and still accepted him as a prominent figure in their society these were some of the rules Pablo Picasso broke in order to come out with surprising designs.
In my opinion, I feel that Pablo Picasso has portrayed his work the ways he sees it instead of how it should be in the society's point of view.Painting is a blind man's profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.”
