Pablo
Picasso was the greatest painter and sculptor of the twentieth century.
He was
a unique inventor of forms and styles in painting called Cubism, which
represented things in three dimensions. He was also a pioneer in
abstract art
and set new traditions in painting.
Pablo
Picasso was born in
1881 in Spain. His
father was an art teacher and so he was born with an inherent capacity
in arts.
He started drawing pictures at the age of nine with extraordinary
perfection.
At the age of fifteen, he performed brilliantly in the entrance exam at
the
Barcelona School of Fine Arts. There he painted an art form depicting a
doctor,
a nun and a child at a sick woman's side. The emotions in the painting
moved
evaluators and he won a gold medal.
Winning
gold medal in
painting was an inspiring
event of his life which turned him to a wide variety of art forms, as
sculptor,
printmaker, stage designer, etc. Adding his extra fillip of
imagination, he
created beauty that immortalized more than 20,000 works of arts. He
tried to
capture each scene of life that enchanted his senses.
