Picasso is a very interesting artist
He is, indeed. He lived a rather tragic life, though, and experienced illnesses that plagued his health throughout his lifetime.
Fortunately he lived a long and prosperous life. He made it to age 92
He did. He lived long, but his years were plagued by depression and debilitating mental illness.
Do you have a favorite painting by him? Mine is the old guitarist
His 1932 work Girl Before A Mirror is pretty nice.
Oh yeah, that was during his cubism period.
Yep, for sure. I noticed he used brighter colors during that period of time, too.
Yeah, it is a very recognizable style
Certainly is. As are his paintings during his first bout of depression. They were much gloomier, and involved deeper, darker colors like blues and blacks.
