On April 8, 1973, humanity said goodbye to one of the greatest artists of all time, Pablo Picasso. The Spanish painter and sculptor, a pioneer of Cubism and a subversive intellectual, marked the course of art in the 20th century with his innovation and inexhaustible talent.
Γεννημένος στη Μάλαγα της Ισπανίας το 1881, ο Πικάσο από μικρή ηλικία έδειξε τις εξαιρετικές του ικανότητες στη ζωγραφική. Στη διάρκεια της ζωής του, πέρασε από διάφορες καλλιτεχνικές περιόδους, όπως την Ροζ και τη Μπλε περίοδο, αλλά ήταν η πρωτοποριακή του συμβολή στον κυβισμό που τον καθιέρωσε ως έναν εκ των θεμελιωτών της μοντέρνας τέχνης. Έργα όπως το “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” and the “Guernica” are milestones in his artistic career and monuments of world cultural heritage.
His creativity was not limited to painting alone. Picasso dabbled in sculpture, ceramics, poetry and theatre, continuing to break boundaries and discover new forms of expression. His influence on art and the way we think about visual language is still evident today, inspiring generations of artists.
His death in Mousin, France, closed a cycle of creativity, but his legacy lives on forever. His hundreds of works continue to inspire admiration and invite us to explore art and life through his eyes.
Pablo Picasso: An artist, a revolutionary, a symbol of human creativity.
