Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain. The son of a Basque
art teacher, Picasso showed a very early talent for drawing. He was
fourteen when the family moved to Barcelona where his father was a
professor at the School of Art. Two years later Picasso had his first
exhibition of rather somber, quite classical paintings. Between 1900
and 1904 he made three trips to
Paris where he studied the works of
the Impressionists and of
Cezanne.

History of Picasso
Picasso’s work is often categorized into periods. While the names of
many of his later periods are debated, the most commonly accepted
periods in his work are the
Blue Period (1901–1904), the Rose Period
(1905–1907), the
African-influenced Period (1908–1909),
Analytic
Cubism (1909–1912), and Synthetic Cubism (1912–1919).
Picasso spent each summer from 1919 to 1939 on the
Cote d'Azur, and moved there permanently in 1946, first at Vallauris,
then at Mougins, where he spent his last years. See
