Pablo Picasso - The world's greatest painter

Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso ou simplesmente Pablo Picasso, como é normalmente chamado, é filho de María Picasso y López e José Ruiz Blasco. 
Nasceu em Málaga a 25 de outubro de 1881 e faleceu em Mougins no dia 8 de abril de 1973, falecendo com 91 anos. Reconhecido como um dos mestres da arte do século XX e considerado um dos artistas mais famosos e versáteis de todo o mundo.
Era um homem charmoso, controverso (tanto na sua vida pessoal como na sua arte), genial (ao longo da sua vida produziu mais de 20000 quadros, desenhos e esculturas usando todos os tipos de materiais). Carregado com uma personalidade irreverente, um ser ousado e divertido, estas fotos revelam exactamente isso, o seu lado mais relaxado e descontraído.


"The world's greatest painter". He was charming (women loved him; he mistreated them), controversial (in his personal life as well as his art) and enormously productive (creating more than 20,000 paintings, drawings and sculptures). In short, said critic Robert Hughes, Picasso was "the artist with whom virtually every other artist had to reckon." 

Work. In the period after World War II, Picasso turned out more pieces, sometimes several a day, than at any time in his career. He took up ceramics, producing more than 3,000 lively painted pots, plates and anthropomorphic vessels. He excelled at printmaking. His simple, kitschy 1949 lithograph of a pigeon has become a much-reproduced international symbol, the dove of peace. His 347 Series, named for the number of related prints he made in 1968 when he was 87, is an astonishing retrospective of his erotic themes. An unnamed 15-m-tall steel sculpture, unveiled in 1967 for America's Second City, is now famous as the Chicago Picasso. (by Ann Morrison for Time)
