Pablo Picasso have always had influence from his artistic father, and at the age of 10 his unusual adeptness for art began when he became his father's pupil in A Coruña. After this, he develop new ways of experimenting with what he learned and thereby surpass his father's artistic ability.
The Spanish capital then became the stop for his art career. Here, he entered the Royal Academy of San Fernando but dint find the teaching resourceful. So, he would go out and watch cafés, streets, brothels where he came across the Spanish painting. Around the year 1898, he fell ill and spend most of his years in the company of his friend Manuel Pallarés in the Catalan Village of Horta de Ebro. And by 1899, he was a healthy man, put on weight and decided to be by the countryside leaving his art-training school and his family plans.
Picasso had his first Barcelona exhibition in February in 1900, and the subject of his paintings were more than 50 portraits. Along with these portraits, he added a dark, moody "modernista" painting Last Moments.

He paid tribute to the French artist with the use of pastels, watercolours and charcoal in the work of art Moulin de la Galette in 1900.

In 1901, he made his friend's portrait scenes and in the enigmatic painting La Vie in 1903. Thereafter, his works were mainly on blind beggars, outcasts, malnourished children but with hope he started orange and pink in his work again.
By 1907, he met Georges Braque and they revolutions Cubism. It is a style of art that emphasizes the two-dimensional surface of the picture plane, rejecting traditional techniques. Cubism sparked with Picasso's painting "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon", where he painted five naked women whose faces looks like a mask without feelings or beauty. At this time, he was influenced by African mask, which reflects in his painting. His cubist style of painting was to express modernity in several ways.
The cubist didn't last long and dies off by the onset of World War 1 and one his famous painting was made this time. It is an 11-foot painting "Guernica" that was made in reaction to the bombing of Spanish village Guernica.
By 1935-40, he took a spell of writing poems along with art, and wrote about 300 poems. He took interest in sculpting and copper plate etchings too in his later life.
