Pablo Ruizy Picasso, born on 25th October 1881 and died on 8th April 1973) is a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer who has spent his life in France as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and was widely known for his painting portraits from Cubist movement.
He was mostly influence by making constructed sculpture and co-invention of collage and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develops and explore.
He died on 8th April 1973 aged 91 in Mougins, France Pablo while he and his wife Jacqueline invited their friends for dinner and he entertained them, saying his last words before he died "Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink anymore."
He was buried at the Chateau of Vauvenargues near Aix-en-Provence, a fortified bastide in the village where he was taught in 1958 and got married to Jacqueline Roque ‘between’ 1959 to 1962.
Jacqueline didn’t allow his children ‘Claude and Paloma’from attending Pablo funeral in Chateau of Vauvenargues. She then later was devastated and alone from Picasso which she was about to end her own life by a gunshot in 1986 at the age of 59.
In
the style of Pablo Picasso cubist painting, I’ve taken photos of my face look
in different angles and then I cut out the sides of the faces in strips and
paste them in order looking left and right in my sketchbook with a jumper
pasted under the cut outs. I then made a transcript of the cut outs on tracing
paper and painted them with watercolours.
The hardest part of making a cubist painting was cutting out what part of the face is necessary to use on each photos and where to paste them in order, but the easiest part was tracing the cutouts arter and paint them over with watercolours.
