Essay on Artist Picasso

   Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born in Oct 25, 1881. He was born in Molaga in Spain. His father was Jose Ruiz Blasco. His mother was Maria Picasso. In 1891 Picasso's younger sister died from Diphteria. This disturbed him a lot and made him express this sadness in his art. When he was 14 he went to school of fine arts. Then he went to Paris and got a contract to make paintings. He had a love affair, Casagemas. However Casagemas committed suicide and Picasso felt another loss. In 1902 he began sharing a house with Max Jacob, another artist. Soon he married Olga and made a painting about her playing volleyball in the beach. However he left and married a 17 year old girl named Marie Therese. However he kept abondonig his wives and going after others. His last and final wife was Jacqueline Roque.
   Picasso's paintings were sad from the beginning after the death of his younger sister. However his paintings got brighter after being married. When he divorced or abandoned his wife his paintings got sad abd dreary. Most of his paintings from the begining was long and pasty. Some of his pintings were none human like. Whenever he gets a new wife he feels happy. Also, he seems very expressive about his ideals.  Piccasso went through a lot of types of paintings. He went from painting images to cubes and geometric shapes to ceremics. Also his paintings look deolate and has muffled colors.Some of his paintings however are realistic and some are dreamy. There are a lot of overlapping strokes.
   In The painting above "Large nude in red armchair" I think it shows a women relaxing after a day of hard work. It shows how some people just want to sit down and relax. Also it shows the stress the women in the age period felt. His paintings are very provocative.
There night be a lot of spelling mistakes because I am typing on a Laptop and I am not used to it.
