In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907.

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours.

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907.

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein.

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan.

After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger.

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein.

Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time.

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger.

In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Girl With A Mandolin - Pablo Picasso, 1910,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Nu Assis S'essuyant Le Pied (Seated Nude Drying Her Foot), 1921<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya.

Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Nu Assis S'essuyant Le Pied (Seated Nude Drying Her Foot), 1921<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein.

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Girl With A Mandolin - Pablo Picasso, 1910,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Nu Assis S'essuyant Le Pied (Seated Nude Drying Her Foot), 1921<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>.

Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907.

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya.

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot.

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portrait of Francoise Gilot, Picasso.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around this time, Picasso wrote poetry as an alternative outlet. Between 1935 and 1959 he wrote over 300 poems. Largely untitled except for a date and sometimes the location of where it was written (for example \"Paris 16 May 1936\"), these works were gustatory, erotic and at times scatological, as were his two full-length plays Desire Caught by the Tail<\/em> (1941) and The Four Little Girls<\/em> (1949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portrait of Francoise Gilot, Picasso.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retreating to his studio, he continued to paint, producing works such as the Still Life with Guitar<\/em> (1942) and The Charnel House<\/em> (1944\u201348). Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War, Pablo Picasso remained in Paris while the Germans occupied the city. Picasso's artistic style did not fit the Nazi ideal of art, so he did not exhibit during this time. He was often harassed by the Gestapo. During one search of his apartment, an officer saw a photograph of the painting Guernica<\/em>. \"Did you do that?\" the German asked Picasso. \"No,\" he replied, \"You did\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retreating to his studio, he continued to paint, producing works such as the Still Life with Guitar<\/em> (1942) and The Charnel House<\/em> (1944\u201348). Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around this time, Picasso wrote poetry as an alternative outlet. Between 1935 and 1959 he wrote over 300 poems. Largely untitled except for a date and sometimes the location of where it was written (for example \"Paris 16 May 1936\"), these works were gustatory, erotic and at times scatological, as were his two full-length plays Desire Caught by the Tail<\/em> (1941) and The Four Little Girls<\/em> (1949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics.

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War, Pablo Picasso remained in Paris while the Germans occupied the city. Picasso's artistic style did not fit the Nazi ideal of art, so he did not exhibit during this time. He was often harassed by the Gestapo. During one search of his apartment, an officer saw a photograph of the painting Guernica<\/em>. \"Did you do that?\" the German asked Picasso. \"No,\" he replied, \"You did\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retreating to his studio, he continued to paint, producing works such as the Still Life with Guitar<\/em> (1942) and The Charnel House<\/em> (1944\u201348). Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around this time, Picasso wrote poetry as an alternative outlet. Between 1935 and 1959 he wrote over 300 poems. Largely untitled except for a date and sometimes the location of where it was written (for example \"Paris 16 May 1936\"), these works were gustatory, erotic and at times scatological, as were his two full-length plays Desire Caught by the Tail<\/em> (1941) and The Four Little Girls<\/em> (1949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Portrait
Portrait of Francoise Gilot, Picasso.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement.

As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War, Pablo Picasso remained in Paris while the Germans occupied the city. Picasso's artistic style did not fit the Nazi ideal of art, so he did not exhibit during this time. He was often harassed by the Gestapo. During one search of his apartment, an officer saw a photograph of the painting Guernica<\/em>. \"Did you do that?\" the German asked Picasso. \"No,\" he replied, \"You did\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retreating to his studio, he continued to paint, producing works such as the Still Life with Guitar<\/em> (1942) and The Charnel House<\/em> (1944\u201348). Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around this time, Picasso wrote poetry as an alternative outlet. Between 1935 and 1959 he wrote over 300 poems. Largely untitled except for a date and sometimes the location of where it was written (for example \"Paris 16 May 1936\"), these works were gustatory, erotic and at times scatological, as were his two full-length plays Desire Caught by the Tail<\/em> (1941) and The Four Little Girls<\/em> (1949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Portrait
Portrait of Francoise Gilot, Picasso.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Nu Assis S'essuyant Le Pied (Seated Nude Drying Her Foot), 1921<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War, Pablo Picasso remained in Paris while the Germans occupied the city. Picasso's artistic style did not fit the Nazi ideal of art, so he did not exhibit during this time. He was often harassed by the Gestapo. During one search of his apartment, an officer saw a photograph of the painting Guernica<\/em>. \"Did you do that?\" the German asked Picasso. \"No,\" he replied, \"You did\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around this time, Picasso wrote poetry as an alternative outlet. Between 1935 and 1959 he wrote over 300 poems. Largely untitled except for a date and sometimes the location of where it was written (for example \"Paris 16 May 1936\"), these works were gustatory, erotic and at times scatological, as were his two full-length plays Desire Caught by the Tail<\/em> (1941) and The Four Little Girls<\/em> (1949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars.

\"Pablo

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso<\/a> died on 8 April 1973 in Mougins, France from pulmonary edema and heart failure, while he and his wife Jacqueline entertained friends for dinner. He was interred at the Ch\u00e2teau 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War, Pablo Picasso remained in Paris while the Germans occupied the city. Picasso's artistic style did not fit the Nazi ideal of art, so he did not exhibit during this time. He was often harassed by the Gestapo. During one search of his apartment, an officer saw a photograph of the painting Guernica<\/em>. \"Did you do that?\" the German asked Picasso. \"No,\" he replied, \"You did\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retreating to his studio, he continued to paint, producing works such as the Still Life with Guitar<\/em> (1942) and The Charnel House<\/em> (1944\u201348). Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around this time, Picasso wrote poetry as an alternative outlet. Between 1935 and 1959 he wrote over 300 poems. Largely untitled except for a date and sometimes the location of where it was written (for example \"Paris 16 May 1936\"), these works were gustatory, erotic and at times scatological, as were his two full-length plays Desire Caught by the Tail<\/em> (1941) and The Four Little Girls<\/em> (1949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Portrait
Portrait of Francoise Gilot, Picasso.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso's final works were a mixture of styles, his means of expression in constant flux until the end of his life. Devoting his full energies to his work, Picasso became more daring, his works more colourful and expressive, and from 1968 to 1971 he produced a torrent of paintings and hundreds of copperplate etchings. At the time these works were dismissed by most as pornographic fantasies of an impotent old man or the slapdash works of an artist who was past his prime. Only later, after Picasso's death, when the rest of the art world had moved on from abstract expressionism, did the critical community come to see the late works of Picasso as prefiguring Neo-Expressionism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso<\/a> died on 8 April 1973 in Mougins, France from pulmonary edema and heart failure, while he and his wife Jacqueline entertained friends for dinner. He was interred at the Ch\u00e2teau 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War, Pablo Picasso remained in Paris while the Germans occupied the city. Picasso's artistic style did not fit the Nazi ideal of art, so he did not exhibit during this time. He was often harassed by the Gestapo. During one search of his apartment, an officer saw a photograph of the painting Guernica<\/em>. \"Did you do that?\" the German asked Picasso. \"No,\" he replied, \"You did\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retreating to his studio, he continued to paint, producing works such as the Still Life with Guitar<\/em> (1942) and The Charnel House<\/em> (1944\u201348). Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around this time, Picasso wrote poetry as an alternative outlet. Between 1935 and 1959 he wrote over 300 poems. Largely untitled except for a date and sometimes the location of where it was written (for example \"Paris 16 May 1936\"), these works were gustatory, erotic and at times scatological, as were his two full-length plays Desire Caught by the Tail<\/em> (1941) and The Four Little Girls<\/em> (1949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Portrait
Portrait of Francoise Gilot, Picasso.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Girl With A Mandolin - Pablo Picasso, 1910,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was commissioned to make a maquette for a huge 50-foot (15 m)-high public sculpture to be built in Chicago, known usually as the Chicago Picasso<\/a><\/em>. He approached the project with a great deal of enthusiasm, designing a sculpture which was ambiguous and somewhat controversial. What the figure represents is not known; it could be a bird, a horse, a woman or a totally abstract shape. The sculpture, one of the most recognizable landmarks in downtown Chicago, was unveiled in 1967. Picasso refused to be paid $100,000 for it, donating it to the people of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso's final works were a mixture of styles, his means of expression in constant flux until the end of his life. Devoting his full energies to his work, Picasso became more daring, his works more colourful and expressive, and from 1968 to 1971 he produced a torrent of paintings and hundreds of copperplate etchings. At the time these works were dismissed by most as pornographic fantasies of an impotent old man or the slapdash works of an artist who was past his prime. Only later, after Picasso's death, when the rest of the art world had moved on from abstract expressionism, did the critical community come to see the late works of Picasso as prefiguring Neo-Expressionism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso<\/a> died on 8 April 1973 in Mougins, France from pulmonary edema and heart failure, while he and his wife Jacqueline entertained friends for dinner. He was interred at the Ch\u00e2teau 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War, Pablo Picasso remained in Paris while the Germans occupied the city. Picasso's artistic style did not fit the Nazi ideal of art, so he did not exhibit during this time. He was often harassed by the Gestapo. During one search of his apartment, an officer saw a photograph of the painting Guernica<\/em>. \"Did you do that?\" the German asked Picasso. \"No,\" he replied, \"You did\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retreating to his studio, he continued to paint, producing works such as the Still Life with Guitar<\/em> (1942) and The Charnel House<\/em> (1944\u201348). Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around this time, Picasso wrote poetry as an alternative outlet. Between 1935 and 1959 he wrote over 300 poems. Largely untitled except for a date and sometimes the location of where it was written (for example \"Paris 16 May 1936\"), these works were gustatory, erotic and at times scatological, as were his two full-length plays Desire Caught by the Tail<\/em> (1941) and The Four Little Girls<\/em> (1949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Portrait
Portrait of Francoise Gilot, Picasso.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Nu Assis S'essuyant Le Pied (Seated Nude Drying Her Foot), 1921<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict.

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was commissioned to make a maquette for a huge 50-foot (15 m)-high public sculpture to be built in Chicago, known usually as the Chicago Picasso<\/a><\/em>. He approached the project with a great deal of enthusiasm, designing a sculpture which was ambiguous and somewhat controversial. What the figure represents is not known; it could be a bird, a horse, a woman or a totally abstract shape. The sculpture, one of the most recognizable landmarks in downtown Chicago, was unveiled in 1967. Picasso refused to be paid $100,000 for it, donating it to the people of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso's final works were a mixture of styles, his means of expression in constant flux until the end of his life. Devoting his full energies to his work, Picasso became more daring, his works more colourful and expressive, and from 1968 to 1971 he produced a torrent of paintings and hundreds of copperplate etchings. At the time these works were dismissed by most as pornographic fantasies of an impotent old man or the slapdash works of an artist who was past his prime. Only later, after Picasso's death, when the rest of the art world had moved on from abstract expressionism, did the critical community come to see the late works of Picasso as prefiguring Neo-Expressionism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso<\/a> died on 8 April 1973 in Mougins, France from pulmonary edema and heart failure, while he and his wife Jacqueline entertained friends for dinner. He was interred at the Ch\u00e2teau 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War, Pablo Picasso remained in Paris while the Germans occupied the city. Picasso's artistic style did not fit the Nazi ideal of art, so he did not exhibit during this time. He was often harassed by the Gestapo. During one search of his apartment, an officer saw a photograph of the painting Guernica<\/em>. \"Did you do that?\" the German asked Picasso. \"No,\" he replied, \"You did\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retreating to his studio, he continued to paint, producing works such as the Still Life with Guitar<\/em> (1942) and The Charnel House<\/em> (1944\u201348). Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around this time, Picasso wrote poetry as an alternative outlet. Between 1935 and 1959 he wrote over 300 poems. Largely untitled except for a date and sometimes the location of where it was written (for example \"Paris 16 May 1936\"), these works were gustatory, erotic and at times scatological, as were his two full-length plays Desire Caught by the Tail<\/em> (1941) and The Four Little Girls<\/em> (1949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Portrait
Portrait of Francoise Gilot, Picasso.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to his artistic accomplishments, Picasso made a few film appearances, always as himself, including a cameo in Jean Cocteau's Testament of Orpheus<\/a><\/em> (1960). In 1955, he helped make the film Le Myst\u00e8re Picasso<\/em> (The Mystery of Picasso<\/em>) directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was commissioned to make a maquette for a huge 50-foot (15 m)-high public sculpture to be built in Chicago, known usually as the Chicago Picasso<\/a><\/em>. He approached the project with a great deal of enthusiasm, designing a sculpture which was ambiguous and somewhat controversial. What the figure represents is not known; it could be a bird, a horse, a woman or a totally abstract shape. The sculpture, one of the most recognizable landmarks in downtown Chicago, was unveiled in 1967. Picasso refused to be paid $100,000 for it, donating it to the people of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso's final works were a mixture of styles, his means of expression in constant flux until the end of his life. Devoting his full energies to his work, Picasso became more daring, his works more colourful and expressive, and from 1968 to 1971 he produced a torrent of paintings and hundreds of copperplate etchings. At the time these works were dismissed by most as pornographic fantasies of an impotent old man or the slapdash works of an artist who was past his prime. Only later, after Picasso's death, when the rest of the art world had moved on from abstract expressionism, did the critical community come to see the late works of Picasso as prefiguring Neo-Expressionism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso<\/a> died on 8 April 1973 in Mougins, France from pulmonary edema and heart failure, while he and his wife Jacqueline entertained friends for dinner. He was interred at the Ch\u00e2teau 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War, Pablo Picasso remained in Paris while the Germans occupied the city. Picasso's artistic style did not fit the Nazi ideal of art, so he did not exhibit during this time. He was often harassed by the Gestapo. During one search of his apartment, an officer saw a photograph of the painting Guernica<\/em>. \"Did you do that?\" the German asked Picasso. \"No,\" he replied, \"You did\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retreating to his studio, he continued to paint, producing works such as the Still Life with Guitar<\/em> (1942) and The Charnel House<\/em> (1944\u201348). Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around this time, Picasso wrote poetry as an alternative outlet. Between 1935 and 1959 he wrote over 300 poems. Largely untitled except for a date and sometimes the location of where it was written (for example \"Paris 16 May 1936\"), these works were gustatory, erotic and at times scatological, as were his two full-length plays Desire Caught by the Tail<\/em> (1941) and The Four Little Girls<\/em> (1949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Portrait
Portrait of Francoise Gilot, Picasso.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Nu Assis S'essuyant Le Pied (Seated Nude Drying Her Foot), 1921<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso was one of 250 sculptors who exhibited in the 3rd Sculpture International held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in mid-1949. In the 1950s, Picasso's style changed once again, as he took to producing reinterpretations of the art of the great masters. He made a series of famous works based on Vel\u00e1zquez's painting of Las Meninas<\/a><\/em>. He also based paintings on works by Goya, Poussin, Manet, Courbet and Delacroix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to his artistic accomplishments, Picasso made a few film appearances, always as himself, including a cameo in Jean Cocteau's Testament of Orpheus<\/a><\/em> (1960). In 1955, he helped make the film Le Myst\u00e8re Picasso<\/em> (The Mystery of Picasso<\/em>) directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was commissioned to make a maquette for a huge 50-foot (15 m)-high public sculpture to be built in Chicago, known usually as the Chicago Picasso<\/a><\/em>. He approached the project with a great deal of enthusiasm, designing a sculpture which was ambiguous and somewhat controversial. What the figure represents is not known; it could be a bird, a horse, a woman or a totally abstract shape. The sculpture, one of the most recognizable landmarks in downtown Chicago, was unveiled in 1967. Picasso refused to be paid $100,000 for it, donating it to the people of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso's final works were a mixture of styles, his means of expression in constant flux until the end of his life. Devoting his full energies to his work, Picasso became more daring, his works more colourful and expressive, and from 1968 to 1971 he produced a torrent of paintings and hundreds of copperplate etchings. At the time these works were dismissed by most as pornographic fantasies of an impotent old man or the slapdash works of an artist who was past his prime. Only later, after Picasso's death, when the rest of the art world had moved on from abstract expressionism, did the critical community come to see the late works of Picasso as prefiguring Neo-Expressionism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso<\/a> died on 8 April 1973 in Mougins, France from pulmonary edema and heart failure, while he and his wife Jacqueline entertained friends for dinner. He was interred at the Ch\u00e2teau 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War, Pablo Picasso remained in Paris while the Germans occupied the city. Picasso's artistic style did not fit the Nazi ideal of art, so he did not exhibit during this time. He was often harassed by the Gestapo. During one search of his apartment, an officer saw a photograph of the painting Guernica<\/em>. \"Did you do that?\" the German asked Picasso. \"No,\" he replied, \"You did\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retreating to his studio, he continued to paint, producing works such as the Still Life with Guitar<\/em> (1942) and The Charnel House<\/em> (1944\u201348). Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French Resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around this time, Picasso wrote poetry as an alternative outlet. Between 1935 and 1959 he wrote over 300 poems. Largely untitled except for a date and sometimes the location of where it was written (for example \"Paris 16 May 1936\"), these works were gustatory, erotic and at times scatological, as were his two full-length plays Desire Caught by the Tail<\/em> (1941) and The Four Little Girls<\/em> (1949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, after the liberation of Paris, Pablo Picasso, then 63 years old, began a romantic relationship with a young art student named Fran\u00e7oise Gilot<\/a>. She was 40 years younger than he was. Picasso grew tired of his mistress Dora Maar<\/a>; Picasso and Gilot began to live together. Eventually they had two children: Claude Picasso, born in 1947 and Paloma Picasso, born in 1949. In her 1964 book Life with Picasso<\/em>, Gilot describes his abusive treatment and myriad infidelities which led her to leave him, taking the children with her. This was a severe blow to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso had affairs with women of an even greater age disparity than his and Gilot's. While still involved with Gilot, in 1951 Picasso had a six-week affair with Genevi\u00e8ve Laporte, who was four years younger than Gilot. By his 70s, many paintings, ink drawings and prints have as their theme an old, grotesque dwarf as the doting lover of a beautiful young model. Jacqueline Roque (1927\u20131986) worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted his famous ceramics. She became his lover, and then his second wife in 1961. The two were together for the remainder of Picasso's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His marriage to Roque was also a means of revenge against Gilot; with Picasso's encouragement, Gilot had divorced her then husband, Luc Simon, with the plan to marry Picasso to secure the rights of her children as Picasso's legitimate heirs. Picasso had already secretly married Roque, after Gilot had filed for divorce. His strained relationship with Claude and Paloma was never healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time, Picasso had constructed a huge Gothic home, and could afford large villas in the south of France, such as Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie on the outskirts of Mougins, and in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d'Azur. He was an international celebrity, with often as much interest in his personal life as his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guernica,
Guernica, Pablo Picasso, 1937<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Pablo Picasso's Guernica<\/em>. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite<\/em> of etchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably Picasso's most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War \u2013 Guernica<\/a><\/em>. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, \"It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.\" Guernica<\/em> was exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and then became the centerpiece of an exhibition of 118 works by Picasso, Matisse<\/a>, Braque<\/a> and Henri Laurens that toured Scandinavia and England. After the victory of Francisco Franco in Spain, the painting was sent to the United States to raise funds and support for Spanish refugees. Until 1981 it was entrusted to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, as it was Picasso's expressed desire that the painting should not be delivered to Spain until liberty and democracy had been established in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939 and 1940, the Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in New York City, under its director Alfred Barr, a Picasso enthusiast, held a major retrospective of Picasso's principal works until that time. This exhibition lionized Picasso, brought into full public view in America the scope of his artistry, and resulted in a reinterpretation of his work by contemporary art historians and scholars. According to Jonathan Weinberg, \"Given the extraordinary quality of the show and Picasso's enormous prestige, generally heightened by the political impact of Guernica<\/em> ... the critics were surprisingly ambivalent\". <\/a><\/sup> Picasso's \"multiplicity of styles\" was disturbing to one journalist; another described him as \"wayward and even malicious\"; Alfred Frankenstein's review in ARTnews<\/em> concluded that Picasso was both charlatan and genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Nu Assis S'essuyant Le Pied (Seated Nude Drying Her Foot), 1921<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In February 1917, Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Italy. In the period following the upheaval of World War I, Picasso produced work in a neoclassical style. This \"return to order\" is evident in the work of many European artists in the 1920s, including Andr\u00e9 Derain, Giorgio de Chirico<\/a>, Gino Severini, Jean Metzinger, the artists of the New Objectivity movement and of the Novecento Italiano<\/a> movement. Picasso's paintings and drawings from this period frequently recall the work of Raphael and Ingres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet Andr\u00e9 Breton<\/a> declared Picasso as 'one of ours' in his article Le Surr\u00e9alisme et la peinture<\/em>, published in R\u00e9volution surr\u00e9aliste<\/em>. Les Demoiselles<\/em> was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of 'psychic automatism in its pure state' defined in the Manifeste du surr\u00e9alisme<\/em> never appealed to him entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did at the time develop new imagery and formal syntax for expressing himself emotionally, \"releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909\", writes art historian Melissa McQuillan. Although this transition in Pablo Picasso's work was informed by Cubism for its spatial relations, \"the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work\", writes McQuillan. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubism<\/strong> is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement was pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, joined by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Fernand L\u00e9ger. One primary influence that led to Cubism was the representation of three-dimensional form in the late works of Paul C\u00e9zanne<\/a>. A retrospective of C\u00e9zanne's paintings had been held at the Salon d'Automne of 1904, current works were displayed at the 1905 and 1906 Salon d'Automne, followed by two commemorative retrospectives after his death in 1907. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form\u2014instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic cubism<\/strong> (1912\u20131919) was a further development of the genre of cubism, in which cut paper fragments \u2013 often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages \u2013 were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pablo
Arlequin (Harlequin), Pablo Picasso, 1917,<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between 1915 and 1917, Picasso began a series of paintings depicting highly geometric and minimalist Cubist objects, consisting of either a pipe, a guitar or a glass, with an occasional element of collage. \"Hard-edged square-cut diamonds\", notes art historian John Richardson, \"these gems do not always have upside or downside\". \"We need a new name to designate them,\" wrote Picasso to Gertrude Stein<\/a>: Maurice Raynal suggested \"Crystal Cubism\". These \"little gems\" may have been produced by Picasso in response to critics who had claimed his defection from the movement, through his experimentation with classicism within the so-called return to order following the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After acquiring some fame and fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom he called Eva Gouel. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works. Picasso was devastated by her premature death from illness at the age of 30 in 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Picasso was living in Avignon. Braque and Derain were mobilized and Apollinaire joined the French artillery, while the Spaniard Juan Gris<\/a> remained from the Cubist circle. During the war, Picasso was able to continue painting uninterrupted, unlike his French comrades. His paintings became more sombre and his life changed with dramatic consequences. Kahnweiler's contract had terminated on his exile from France. At this point Picasso's work would be taken on by the art dealer L\u00e9once Rosenberg. After the loss of Eva Gouel, Picasso had an affair with Gaby Lespinasse. During the spring of 1916, Apollinaire returned from the front wounded. They renewed their friendship, but Picasso began to frequent new social circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of World War I, Picasso became involved with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Among his friends during this period were Jean Cocteau, Jean Hugo, Juan Gris, and others. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Erik Satie's Parade, in Rome; they spent their honeymoon near Biarritz in the villa of glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Err\u00e1zuriz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from his honeymoon and in need of money, Picasso started his exclusive relationship with the French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg<\/a>. As part of his first duties, Rosenberg agreed to rent the couple an apartment in Paris at his own expense, which was located next to his own house. This was the start of a deep brother-like friendship between two very different men, that would last until the outbreak of World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and other dimensions of the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo Picasso, who would grow up to be a motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. During the same period that Picasso collaborated with Diaghilev's troupe, he and Igor Stravinsky collaborated on Pulcinella<\/em> in 1920. Picasso took the opportunity to make several drawings of the composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927, Pablo Picasso met 17-year-old Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter<\/a> and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter and fathered a daughter with her, named Maya. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytic cubism<\/strong> (1909\u20131912) is a style of painting Pablo Picasso developed with Georges Braque<\/a> using monochrome brownish and neutral colours. Both artists took apart objects and \"analyzed\" them in terms of their shapes. Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including Andr\u00e9 Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry and Gertrude Stein. In 1911, Picasso was arrested and questioned about the theft of the Mona Lisa<\/em><\/a> from the Louvre<\/a>. Suspicion for the crime had initially fallen upon Apollinaire due to his links to G\u00e9ry Pieret, an artist with a history of thefts from the gallery. Apollinaire in turn implicated his close friend Picasso, who had also purchased stolen artworks from the artist in the past. Afraid of a conviction that could result in his deportation to Spain, Picasso denied having ever met Apollinaire. Both were later cleared of any involvement in the painting's disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
