Picasso was born in Spain and studied at the Academies of Art in Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but moved to Paris in 1904, where he lived for the rest of his life. Originally carried by the socially conscious tradition in French painting that included artists such as Daumier and Toulouse-Lautrec. Picasso went through an extraordinary and complex transformation between 1905 and 1906-1907. Sculptures from Iberia (Spain and Portugal) dating from the 5th and 6th centuries BC had a great influence on his work. Even more influential were his visits to the Ethnographic Museum where African art from French colonies was exhibited. Picasso admired the expressive power and the unknown, formal quality of African masks, which he himself owned and kept in his studio. Cubism replicates the very process of perception, during which we examine an object from different angles and then assemble our views into a complete object in our head. Picasso gathered broken subjects not according to our process of perception but in accordance with the principles of artistic composition, he tried to convey meaning rather than portray the observed reality. His many phases are known: blue, pink, impressionist, realistic, cubist or African black, collage cubism and neoclassical. He made graphics, drawings, nudes, ceramics, wire constructions, bronze forms, cubist sculptures. Works by Pablo Picasso will be on display until October 30.
