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.
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.

Пабло Пикассо. Старый еврей с мальчиком, 1903 год Голубой период
In 1902 he started painting the poor people he met on the streets, so his paintings were very sad and dark. This period in his work is called the ‘blue period’ (1901-04). In 1904 he started his ‘pink period’, in which he painted the world of the circus clowns,acrobats and musicians. The paintings from that period are very happy and full of pink colours.
In 1909 he worked with another artist, Georges Braque. Together they painted abstract pictures. In an abstract picture you only see lines and colours and it is very difficult to understand what exactly you are looking at. Picasso’s most famous painting is Guernica, which he painted during the Civil War in Spain, in 1937. It is a dark, sad and abstract picture about the war.

Перевод текста № 26 PABLO PICASSO к экзамену по английскому языку
Пабло Пикассо
Павло Пикассо был одним из величайших художников 20 века. Он эсперементировал во многих разных стилях и изменил мир искусства того времени.
Павло Пикассо родился в Малаге, Испания в 1881 отец его был учителям рисования. В 10лет он стал учеником своего отца а в 13лет он провел свою первую выставку его семья переехала в Барселону в 1895 где Павло поступил в академию искусств. В ранний период молодой художник рисовал жизнь так как он видел ее вокруг себя - в кафе и на улицах. Затем они переехали в Париж, в центр искусства и литературы.
В 1901 году его близкий друг застрелился. Это произвело огромное влияние на Пабло. Он стал очень грустным и начал рисовать свои картины в серых и голубых тонах вместо ярких жизненных цветов. Это часть его карьеры называется его голубым периодом (1901-1904).
Позже он поменял свой стиль рисования и стал использовать более земные цвета-розовые жизнерадостные или коричневые. Ему нравилось рисовать картины цирковой жизни с танцорами или акробатами. Этот розовый период длился до 1907.
Когда Пикассо начал работать со своим другом и товарищем Георгием Брейк в Париже они стали экспериментировать в новом стиле который назывался кубизм. Пикассо Брейк не хотели показывать природу в реальном мире. Они считали, что все в природе имеет геометрическую форму. В кубизме предметы резались на многие плоские кусочки, которые выглядели как пазл. Все части человеческого лица например показывались одновременно, возможно даже с тремя глазами.
В 1936 году в Испании началась Гражданская Война в этот свой период он нарисовал. В этот свой период свой шедевр Герника. Он показывает запуганных людей древнего Испанского города который бомбили во время Гражданской войны. Пикассо был шокирован этим антигуманным действием и в своей картине он показал людей бегущих по улицам широко открытыми ртами. Чтобы показать свою печаль и злость он использовал только черные и белые цвета а также серые оттенки серого.
Он продолжал эту работу до своей смерти 1973 году. За его великое воображение и мастерство его называют «маэстро» современно искусства.
