3 Key qualities Overcame hardship Perseverance Takes action
What I find interesting is that picasso was the first to paint in blue and painted differently.
I CHOSE THIS PERSON BECAUSE I wanted to learn about his art.
1901-1904 was called the blue period. picasso's paintings were not selling and he was lonely and poor. I think that picasso was sad that no one liked his paintings. I think he missed his friend charles casagemas because he killed himself.
FROM 1901-1904 pablo moved back and forth between barcelona and paris. he lived in a cheap hotel rooms and run down apartments. pablo shared one apartment with jacob a poet. Max Jacob appreciated that Pablo let him stay with him. At the time, Jacob was poor and didn't have money for rent.
in 1940 the germans occupied paris. picasso decided to move back to his studio there. picasso hoped his presence would be a proud symbol to the french of defiance and freedom. I THINK PICASSO WAS PROUD. HE MOVED BACK.
picasso was the the top artist in the 1921 because he inSPIRED cubism. cubism is when you make a picture by breaking it into cubes from different angles. I THINK PABLO FELT GOOD TO BE THE TOP ARTIST AND I THINK HE FELT GOOD AND CHANGED HIS ART A LITTLE.
in 1903 only a little over a year, pablo did fifty pantings using tones of blue and green. no one wanted them. but did pablo listen? no he did what he wanted. I THINK pablo felt good he did not listen and did what he wanted! he believed in himself when other people didn't.
picasso TRIED TO PAINT GERTRUDE STEIN AND IT TOOK 80 SKETCHES TO PAINT HER. GERTRUDE STEIN WAS A FAMOUS POET AND WRITER. I THINK THAT PICASSO WAS DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IT TOOK HIM SO MANY TIMES TO PAINT HER.
he impacted the world because he started to paint in light colors and now a lot of paintings are in light colors. I think that it is cool that picasso impacted the world. we don't know if a lot of people started using light colors before or after he died.
