INTERESTING FACT
Pablo Picasso was born in Spain on 25th October, 1881. His full name was "Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno MarÃa de los Remedios Cipriano de la SantÃsima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito RuÃz y Picasso". He was born as tiny and weak baby. They thought that he was dead, but his uncle, a doctor named Don Salvador, blew cigar smoke in his face. Little baby Picasso coughed and declared his rightful place on this planet.
While living in Paris (1900) Pablo had financial problems and was forced to burn many of his paintings to stay warm. Later in life he was paying his bills with simple signature written on piece of paper containing only one word: Picasso. Besides his wives he had many mistresses and some of them very young. Pablo loved to work with the candle light. His first exhibit was at the age of thirteen, but first recorded painting was at the age of nine. Interesting fact is that Steve Wynn owner of the Picasso's famed "Dream" painting poke the hole accidentally through the multimillion dollar painting while showing his friends portrait of Picasso's mistress Marie-Therese Walter.
Picasso's first painting at the age of nine: Le picador

Life Events
After visiting an exhibition of children's drawings: "When I was their age I could draw like Raphael, but it took me a lifetime to learn to draw like them."
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
Pablo Picasso had several distinct phases during his long career, including his Blue Period, and his later Rose Period. He began his blue paintings in 1901 reflecting his sadness at a friend's death. Directly after his Blue Period, Picasso moved on to his Rose Period in 1905. One of Picasso's most creative phases took place between 1908 and 1912 and is known as Analytical Cubism.
In the first six years in Paris, Picasso moved from the Toulouse Lautrec "cabaret style" of painting (1901) to the Blue Period (1901-1904) to the Rose Period (1904-1907) and then the Cubist Period (1907-1917). For the rest of his life--from age twenty six to ninety two--he was to frequent these styles again and again!
