52 years ago today, on April 8, 1973 (March 6, 1973 in the lunar calendar), Spanish artist Picasso passed away. On April 8, 1973, Pablo Picasso, the greatest artist of the century, passed away. He died on his estate in southern France at the age of 92. Picasso was born in Spain on October 25, 1881. He is the founder of modern art (Cubism) and the main representative of Western modernist painting. He had extraordinary artistic talents since childhood. His father was an art teacher and had received relatively strict painting training at the Academy of Fine Arts, so he had solid modeling skills. Picasso's painting and style changed several times during his life: the first period was: the "blue period"; the second period was: the "rose red period"; the third period was: the "black period"; the fourth period was: the "cubism period", divided into two forms: decomposition and synthesis; The fifth period is: the "Classicism Period"; the sixth period is: the "Surrealism Period"; and finally the "Abstract Period". Picasso was a seeker of ever-changing artistic techniques throughout his life. The artistic techniques of Impressionism, post-Impressionism, and beast were all absorbed and transformed into his own style. His talent lies in maintaining his rough and vigorous personality in all his variant styles, and in using various techniques, he can achieve internal unity and harmony. He has reached the peak, and his works, whether they are ceramics, prints, paintings, or sculptures, are all childish games. In his life, there were never any specific teachers or children. No painter who was active in the 20th century could completely detour the path of progress opened by Picasso. He said: "When we work with a selfless spirit, sometimes what we do automatically leans towards us. Don't worry too much about various things, because it will come to you naturally or accidentally. I think death will be the same! "He left quietly and completed a long career of ninety-three years old. He lived his life as he wished. "The Girls of Avignon"(1907) and "Guernica"(1937) are two of his masterpieces. Since 1970, his paintings have become visually quiet and lively. As a tireless innovator and creator of often controversial works, his life changed the artistic course of the 20th century.
