Pablo Picasso

Yes I have alot of useless information about artists stored in my brain. I just don't know any way to get rid of it. I must of had a really good art appreciation teacher.

Did you know...

1900 to 1907, saw Picasso's Blue and Rose Periods, and it was within this timeframe that the artist was fascinated by the dregs of society, he would focus on painting images of prostitutes, the poor, the unfortunate, and the street urchins.

He was working very hard during this time, illustrating magazines, and having his work shown in galleris such as Berthe Weill's, in Paris. It was also then that he met Guillaume Apollinaire, Leo and Gertrude Stein, and Henri Matisse, who was to become Picasso's long time friend.

U're amazing, you know so much about art, are you an artist?

I'm not much of an artist,
but I do love to paint, and I paint when I'm free usually

painting images of prostitutes, the poor, the unfortunate, and the street urchins.

those images are my favorite inspirations to paint too!
