He was the first baby boy of the couple, so he had all the attention of his parents. While his father went to the caf\u00e9, Picasso stayed home with the women of the family. He was the centre of attention, all the women adored him. This definitely gave him a lot of confidence. <\/p>\n<p>Picasso&#8217;s father was an artist. He loved to paint. Whenever he painted, Picasso used to stay by him and copy him. Picasso actually learned how to draw before learning how to walk! The first words he learned were &#8220;<i>mama<\/i>&#8221; and &#8220;<i>piz<\/i>&#8220;, from the Spanish word &#8220;<i>l\u00e1piz<\/i>&#8220;, which means <i>pencil<\/i> in English. <\/p>\n<p>From a very young age, Picasso was already creative and felt the urge to draw and paint. As he grew up, his father noticed that Picasso was better than him! <\/p>\n<h4>Fascinating fact n\u00ba2: The city of Â鶹APP had always been the place he wanted to live in<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso3.jpg\" alt=\"5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso3\" width=\"840\" height=\"440\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso3.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso3-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso3-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso3-816x427.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the age of seveteen, he dropped out of the academy and moved to Barcelona on his own. To pay his rent, he used to create posters, banners and illustrations. During the evening, he used to go to a Barcelonese caf\u00e9 called <i>4cats<\/i> which was the headquarter of the avant-garde artists. There, people only used to talk about the city of Â鶹APP. <\/p>\n<p>At eighteen years old, he held his first exhibition, which was very well received by the critics. Later, he found out that one of his paintings had been chosen to be featured in the Spanish pavilion of the <i>Exposition Universelle<\/i> which took place in Â鶹APP. <\/p>\n<p>At that time, Â鶹APP was the most modern city of Europe. Him and a friend went to Â鶹APP and stayed in the caf\u00e9s and studios filled neighborhood of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/paris-walking-tours\/montmartre-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Montmartre<\/a>! <\/p>\n<p>For Picasso, the <i>Exposition Universelle<\/i> was unsuccessful and an humiliating experience, because his work had to face the many paintings of the most famous French Impressionist painters. There, he got to discover the splendid paintings of artists such as Monet, Renoir, Degas. The intimity, the emotion and sensuality these paintings transmitted touched him and strongly influenced him.<\/p>\n<p>At night, Picasso and his friends used to go to the <strong><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-fun-facts-about-the-moulin-rouge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moulin Rouge<\/a><\/i><\/strong> and the <strong><i>Moulin de la Galette<\/i><\/strong>. He fell in love with the city and wanted to stay there, but reluctantly had to return to Barcelona. <\/p>\n<p>Soon after, Picasso received a proposal to hold another exhibition in Â鶹APP, but this time it was a solo one! He went back to Â鶹APP and settled there, hoping to conquer the city. <\/p>\n<h4>Fascinating fact n\u00ba3: Picasso went through several artistic period<\/h4>\n<p>If you have a look at Picasso&#8217;s artworks, you will notice that they can be very different from one another. This is due to the fact that the artist went through several artistic periods. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso5.jpg\" alt=\"5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso5\" width=\"750\" height=\"575\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso5.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso5-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In February of 1901, Picasso&#8217;s friend Carlos Casagemas committed suicide in Â鶹APP while he was in Spain. This event inspired Picasso for his &#8220;<i>Blue Period<\/i>&#8220;, because his friend had died but he was seeing the girl who had broken his friend&#8217;s heart, Germaine. Picasso was torn between two feelings, sadness and guilt. This artistic period was called &#8220;<i>Blue Period<\/i>&#8221; because his paintings were mostly in shades of blue and blue-green. At the <strong><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/paris-walking-tours\/skip-line-picasso-museum-marais-art-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Picasso Museum<\/a><\/i><\/strong> in Â鶹APP, you can see the first painting of the <i>Blue Period<\/i>: <i>The death of Casagemas<\/i>.

He was happy with their relationship and had overcome the depression he suffered from during the <i>Blue Period<\/i>. This marked the beginning of Picasso&#8217;s <i>Rose Period<\/i> which lasted from 1905 to 10907. The colors were much more cheerful and vivid and the paintings represented pleasant themes.  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso6.jpg\" alt=\"5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso6\" width=\"450\" height=\"539\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso6.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso6-250x300.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Picasso&#8217;s biggest rival was Henri Matisse. Matisse&#8217;s incredible and radiant paintings got people talking in the world of art. Picasso envied his success and originality. He had achieved what Picasso wanted for so long, which was to flout the classical traditions. Matisse was a very charismatic man that people enjoyed being around, he was seen as the greatest painter of Â鶹APP. Picasso was very jealous of him. The Rose&#8217;s Period paintings were delicate and lyrical but didn&#8217;t stand out as Matisse&#8217;s paintings. <\/p>\n<p>African art and his meeting with George Braque inspired his Cubism period. Picasso is considered to be one of the inventors of Cubism. This art movement revolutionized art in Europe, as the society was starting to be mechanized and industrialized with the emergence of new technologies. During his Cubism period, Picasso also produced many sculptures. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso7.jpg\" alt=\"5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso7\" width=\"641\" height=\"938\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso7.jpg 631w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso7-205x300.jpg 205w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 641px) 100vw, 641px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While he worked with the French poet Jean Cocteau in a ballet play, he met Olga Koklova, one of the dancers. They got married together in 1918. Picasso&#8217;s lifestyle changed radically with his new wife, because Olga was used to an aristocratic and luxurious. Picasso had to quit going to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/paris-walking-tours\/montmartre-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Montmartre<\/a> bohemian caf\u00e9s and instead going to the opera. Everytime Picasso met a new woman, his art changed according to the emotions he felt with them. With Olga in his life and the birth of his first child, he embraced the Classicism. This period lasted from 1920 to 1930. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso8.jpg\" alt=\"5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso8\" width=\"601\" height=\"732\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso8.jpg 601w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5fascinatingfactsaboutpicasso8-246x300.jpg 246w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 1923 he met a group of intellectuals, known as the Surrealists, that strongly influenced Picasso&#8217;s art.

If you investigate about Picasso, you will see that he had many women throughout his life and that each of them influenced his artworks.
