Artist Spotlight: Pablo Picasso by Nina Nandy | Jun 28, 2021 | Art, New Mexico, Nina Nandy
Ask someone to name a famous artist, and they’ll likely say “Picasso.” Pablo Picasso transformed art with bold subject matter, composition and technique. Fifty years after his death, he remains an enduring artistic force.
Early Career Spanish-born Pablo Ruiz Picasso began studying art under his father around age nine. He developed an unmistakable talent for painting as a teen. He admired old masters like El Greco, but was excited by new artists like Munch and Lautrec. Picasso’s most famous early works are his “Blue Period” paintings. They are named “blue” not only for their use of color, but their depressing subjects. He found a uncommon beauty in the beggars and street-dwellers of Paris and Barcelona. His more commercial “Rose Period” followed. These lighter-hearted paintings featured French circus performers and clowns.
