Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He experimented in many different styles and changed the world of art during his time.
Early life
Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain in 1881. His father was a drawing teacher. At 10 Pablo became his father"s pupil and at the age of 13 he held his first exhibition.
His family moved to Barcelona in 1895 where Pablo joined an art academy. In his early period the young artist painted life as he observed it around him – in cafes and on the streets. As a young man he took interest in masterpieces of famous artists like El Greco and de Goya.
At the turn of the century, Picasso went to Paris, which was, at that time, the centre of art and literature.
Blue and Rose period
In 1901 a close friend of Picasso shot himself. This had a great impact on Pablo. He was very sad and began painting his pictures in grey and blue tones instead of bright, vivid colours. This part of his career is called his Blue Period (1901 – 1904).
Later on, he changed his painting style and started using more earth colours – rose, pink or brown. He liked to paint pictures of circus life with dancers and acrobats. This rose period lasted until 1907.
When Picasso started working with his friend and fellow painter Georges Braque in Paris they started experimenting with a new style that was called cubism.
Picasso and Braque didn"t want to show nature as it really was. They thought that all objects in nature had geometric forms. In cubism, objects were cut into many flat shapes, which looked like a puzzle. All the sides of a person"s face, for example, were shown at once, maybe even with three eyes instead of two. Cubist painters wanted to show all parts of an object from one angle.
Picasso and Braque also experimented with other materials, like cloth and newspaper clippings, which they glued onto the canvas. This technique became later known as collage.
Classicism
In 1917 Picasso went to Rome to design costumes and scenery for a Russian ballet company. During this period he fell back to classical forms and painting techniques but never gave up experimenting with cubism.
Civil War
In 1936 Civil War broke out in Spain. During this period he painted his masterpiece Guernica. It shows the terrified people of the ancient Spanish town which was bombed during the Civil War. Picasso was shocked by this inhuman act and in his painting he shows people running in the streets and screaming with their mouths wide open. To display his sadness and anger he used only black and white as well as shades of grey.
During World War II Picasso lived in Paris which, at that time, was under Nazi occupation. The Nazis didn"t like his modern paintings and Picasso had to hide them in a secret vault in the Bank of France.
Later life
After the war Picasso moved to a big house in the southern part of France. There, he continued experimenting with paintings and sculptures.
He continued his work up to his death in 1973. Picasso was known as a very moody person and he also displayed this in his paintings. Sometimes he was thoughtful, even sad, and at other times he could be very humorous. Picasso was never satisfied with his own work and he never stopped experimenting. For his great imagination and skill he is called "El Maestro" of modern art.

PABLO PICASSO
No painter before him had a mass audience in his own lifetime. The total public for Titian in the 16th century or Velazquez in the 17th century was probably no more than a few thousand people-though that included most of the crowned heads, nobility and intelligentsia of Europe. Picasso"s audience - meaning people, who had heard of him and seen his work, at least in reproductions - was in tens, possibly hundreds of millions. He and his works were the subject of constant analysis, gossips, adoration or rumour.
Pablo Picasso was born in Spain in 1881 and lived for 91 years. For most of his life he lived in Paris, France.
When Picasso was a child, pictures by Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Cezanne were the modern masterpieces. With Picasso"s fantastic imagination he took those ideas even further. He started to paint what he knew about object or person. Anything solid was broken down into flattened, cut out «pieces». The pieces were shaped like patterns, or cubes, so the new style was called «Cubism». When cubism appeared first some critics said it was a complete disaster. So, this style was Picasso"s first gift to the art world. Picasso kept developing new styles, constantly switching between them. He painted and sculptured in any way he wanted.
Some of the greatest modern painters - Kandinsky, for instance, or Mondrian - saw his work as an instrument of evolution and human development. The idea that he had any kind of historical mission struck Picasso, and he always said that all he had ever made was made for the present and in the hope that it would remain in the present. It is interesting that he also stood against the Expressionist belief that the work of art must disclose the truth and the inner being of its author.
In his work everything is based on sensation and desire. He could make people feel the weight of forms and the tension of their relationships mainly by drawing the total structure.
Unlike many other artists Picasso wasn"t poor. He had been successful nearly all his life and had plenty of money. He lived in elegant flat in a fashionable Paris street.
Picasso constantly tried out new forms of art and invented a new style, which, strangely, remained a secret for most of his life - his sculptures. He loved animals and built sculptures of them from materials he found just lying around.

ПАБЛО ПИКАССО
У одного художника до него не было такого количества поклонников за его жизнь. Поклонников Тициана в XVI веке и Веласкеса в XVII веке было не более нескольких тысяч человек - в основном это были коронованные особы, дворянство и интеллигенция Европы. Аудитория Пикассо, включая и тех, кто слышал о нем и видел его картины, хотя бы в репродукциях, - составляет десятки, сотни миллионов. Сам Пикассо и его работы были предметом постоянного анализа, сплетен, поклонения или слухов.
Пабло Пикассо родился в Испании в 1881 г. и прожил 91 год. Большую часть своей жизни он провел в Париже, во Франции.
Когда Пикассо был ребенком, картины Винсента Ван Гога и Поля Сезанна были современными шедеврами. Фантастическое воображение Пикассо подхватили эти идеи и начали развивать их дальше. Он начал рисовать то, что знал о предмете или человеке. Все большое разбивалось на отдельные плоские кусочки. И эти кусочки изображались в форме куба, таким образом, новый стиль был назван кубизмом. Когда кубизм впервые появился, критики говорили, что это просто катастрофа. Этот стиль был подарком Пикассо миру искусства. Пикассо продолжал развивать новые направления, постоянно их сочетая. Он рисовал картины и лепил скульптуры так, как ему хотелось.
Некоторые великие художники, например Кандинский или Мондриан, рассматривали его работы как инструмент эволюции и человеческого развития. Идея того, что он был причастен к какой-либо исторической миссии, поражала Пикассо, и он всегда говорил, что все то, что он делал, принадлежит настоящему, в надежде на то, что оно в настоящем и останется. Интересно и то, что он всегда был против мнения экспрессионистов о том, что искусство должно раскрывать правду и внутренний мир автора.
В его работе все основывается на чувственности и желании. Он мог заставить человека чувствовать форму и взаимосвязь путем изображения общей структуры.
В отличие от других художников Пикассо не был бедным. Он всю свою жизнь был счастлив и имел много денег. У него была изысканная квартира на фешенебельной улице Парижа.
Пикассо постоянно пробовал новые формы искусства и придумал новый стиль, который, что странно, оставался в секрете в течение всей его жизни - его скульптуры. Он любил животных и лепил их скульптуры из материала, что находил под рукой.

Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 - 8 April 1973)
Pablo Picasso is considered to be one of the most famous painters in the twentieth century. He was born in Malaga, Spain on October 20, 1881. In addition to painting, Picasso was also a printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright. He spent most of his adult life in France.
Early life
Picasso showed a passion and a skill for drawing from an early age. According to his mother, his first words were "piz, piz", a shortening of lápiz , the Spanish word for "pencil". From the age of seven, Picasso received formal artistic training from his father in figure drawing and oil painting. On one occasion, the father found his son painting over his unfinished sketch of a pigeon. Observing the precision of his son"s technique, the father felt that the thirteen-year-old Picasso had surpassed him, and vowed to give up painting.
Fame
Picasso grew up to become one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Picasso is now regarded as one of the artists who most defined the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century
Personal life and death
Picasso had affairs with a lot of women and was married twice and had four children, Paulo, Maya, Claude and Paloma by three women. He died on 8 April 1973 in Mougins, France, while he and his wife Jacqueline entertained friends for dinner. He was interred at the Chateau of Vauvenargues near Aix-en-Provence, a property he had acquired in 1958 and occupied with Jacqueline between 1959 and 1962. Jacqueline Roque prevented his children Claude and Paloma from attending the funeral. Devastated and lonely after the death of Picasso, Jacqueline Roque killed herself by gunshot in 1986 when she was 59 years old.
Еще два столетия назад, фотография человечеству была неведома и для того, чтобы оставить память потомкам об известных людях, событиях, красивых природных ландшафтах существовала живопись. Создаваемые талантливыми художниками полотна, были и останутся шедеврами. Для того чтобы рассказать об увиденных шедеврах и создать описание картины на английском языке, необходимо уметь грамотно его составлять.
Как правило, для общего описания картины используют .
Описывайте картину последовательно, излагайте мысли красиво, логично, не используя слишком длинных предложений. Зная, как описать картину на английском языке, будет несложно осуществить это на практике.
Сосредоточимся на деталях
Описывайте, что видите:
- Погоду (The weather is nice/ chilly/ hot…)
- Пейзаж (There is a sea/a wood/ a field…)
- Предметы мебели (There is a table/ a chair/ a computer…) (On the right there is/ On the left there are…)
- Внешность людей (This man has red hair and blue eyes)
- Во что они одеты (The girls are wearing green skirts and blue shirts)
- Какие события изображены на картинке (The boy is playing, the girls are standing)
Фантазируем
Никто не запретит вам додумать, выдумать дополнительные факты, высказать собственные мысли по поводу увиденного на картинке. Таким образом, вы сможете составить более сложные предложения, порассуждать и предположить, что может произойти.
Например, если на картинке обедают люди, можете предположить, кто они друг для друга, о чем говорят, какое у них настроение. Выскажите необычные, смешные предположения - так будет даже интереснее. Главное - говорите!
Используйте словосочетания:
«It/he/she/we/they might be…»
Не бойтесь ошибиться
Для того чтобы говорить бегло, иногда можно немного пренебречь правильностью. Если начнете думать, как бы не сделать ошибку и станете задумываться над каждой фразой, то ни о какой беглости речи говорить не придется.
Старайтесь говорить долго
Никем не прерываемый, долгий монолог - явление довольно редкое. Даже на русском вам нечасто приходится говорить хотя бы три минуты без остановки, не отвлекаясь на встречные фразы собеседника. Ситуация не совсем ординарная, а для многих и вовсе стрессовая, но любой навык приобретается с практикой. Используйте все возможности, чтобы практиковаться в разговорном английском и это будет вам удаваться все лучше!
Описание картины Ivan Tsarevich on the Grey Wolf (Иван-Царевич на Сером Волке)
Рассмотрим как описать картину на английском языке на примере «Иван-Царевич на Сером Волке» В. М. Васнецова .
The famous Russian artist Viktor Vasnetsov created his numerous paintings based on Russian folk tales.
The painting «Ivan Tsarevich on the Grey Wolf», was painted by Viktor Vasnetsov in 1889. The plot was inspired by a Russian folk tale about a brave hero and his faithful servant. Through the dense forest, Ivan Tsarevich and Elena the Beautiful are gallopping on the Grey Wolf.
Hugging his bride, Ivan Tsarevich is attentively staring ahead. He is wearing a golden coat and a red hat. Elena the Beautiful is dressed in a long blue sundress. She is trustingly pressing to the breast of her savior.
The huge Gray Wolf is quickly rushing forward. With his his strong paws he is jumping over the swamp with white lilies. Dark colors of this picture cause the feeling of anxiety, and only the blossoming apple-tree with its beautiful white flowers gives hope for a happy ending.
Перевод:
Известный русский художник Виктор Васнецов создал свои многие картины по мотивам русских народных сказок.
Картину «Иван-Царевич на Сером Волке», Виктор Васнецов написал в 1889 году, на основе русской народной сказки о храбром герое и его преданном помощнике. Сквозь густой лес, Иван-Царевич вместе с Еленой Прекрасной скачут верхом на Сером Волке.
Крепко обнимая свою невесту, Иван-Царевич внимательно смотрит вперед. Он одет в золотистый кафтан и красную шапку. Елена Прекрасная, одетая в длинный голубой сарафан, прижимается к груди своего спасителя.
Огромный Серый волк быстро бежит вперёд. Его сильные лапы перескакивают через болото с белыми кувшинками. Темные краски картины вызывают ощущение тревоги, и только цветущая яблоня со своими красивыми, белыми цветами дает надежду на счастливый конец.
