Pablo Picasso 1907 Self Portrait
Here is a section from Pablo Picasso’s 1907 self portrait. Picasso was born on October 25, 1881. Picasso grew up in a middle class family in Malaga, Spain. His father was an art instructer and curator of an art museum. According to Picasso’s mother, his first words were “piz, piz” – short for lápiz, the Spanish word for “pencil”. Picasso is one of the most famous 20th century artists and is best known for Cubist style paintings.
Great portrait! Pablo Picasso was a man of deep contradictions. He was a self avowed communist, and also one of the world’s wealthiest artists, leaving his heirs an estate valued at $260 million ($1.5 billion in 2008 dollars) when he died in 1973. Pablo Picasso once remarked, ‘I like to live like a poor man, except with lots of money’. Lol!
