The 10 best Picasso paintings and sculptures, ranked (article)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Born in Málaga, Spain, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is undoubtedly one of the most famous artists ever and for good reason. His name is virtually synonymous with modern art, and it doesn't hurt that he fits the commonly held image of the outlaw genius whose ambitions are matched by an appetite for living large. He was a champion womanizer and wasn't hesitant about spending the money fame had brought him. (By the late '50s, he owned five villas in the south of France.) And yet there's no denying the fact that he changed the course of art history with revolutionary innovations that include collage and, of course, Cubism, which broke the stranglehold of representational subject matter on art, and set the tempo for other 20th-century artists. He utterly transformed multiple mediums, making so many works that it's hard to grasp his achievement. Still, that hasn't stopped us from trying with this list of best Picasso paintings and sculptures, scored 1 through 10, with some available to see at NYC's art museums.

Отчего зависит рождение гения неизвестно никому. Ученые веками бьются над загадкой гениальности, отыскивая причины и условия, в которых могли бы рождаться талантливые дети, но пока безрезультатно.

Человек, который известен всему миру, давно умер, однако имя его остается на слуху и в его гениальности сомневаться не приходится: величайший изобретатель, инженер и ученый, опередивший собственное время Леонардо да Винчи оставил своим потомкам загадки и идеи, над которыми будет ломать головы еще не одно поколение.

Уникальность да Винчи состоит еще и в его удивительной разносторонности - ему было интересно и подвластно все - от живописи до механики, он интересовался строением человеческого организма не меньше, чем искусственными конструкциями. Злопыхатели могут сколько угодно говорить о том, что рисунки и наброски Леонардо не закончены, что построить по ним задуманные машины и механизмы очень сложно. Однако факт остается фактом: ни один человек за всю историю существования человечества не дал столько изобретений, опережающих свое время, ни одно имя не обрело такой же мистический и загадочный ореол, как имя Леонардо да Винчи.

Живопись и медицина, история и биология, механика и стихи - все это сочеталось в одном человеке. Леонардо да Винчи писал обеими руками и в обоих направлениях, танцевал, фехтовал, был скульптором. Уникальный талант раскрывается в разных сферах!

Военно-технические идеи и изобретения да Винчи

Ему были очень близки военно-технические идеи. Первые танки родились в воображении ученого, и он настоятельно пропагандировал идею создания колесницы, прикрытой сверху листами брони. Полукруглая форма позволила бы противостоять натиску врага, а пушка, которой должен быть оборудован "танк", могла корректировать угол стрельбы с помощью укрепленного подъемного блока.

Изначально, колесницу в движение должны были приводить лошади. Однако, будучи животными пугливыми, они могли испортить все дело. Поэтому, усовершенствовав свою идею, Леонардо заменил лошадей людьми. Экипаж "машины боевой" состоял бы из восьми человек, тянувших эту махину. Что и говорить, боеспособность таких колесниц была бы очень низкая, танкам пришлось дожидаться своей очереди на воплощение еще несколько столетий.

Исследования подводного мира

Да Винчи очень любил воду, и не удивительно, что для исследования подводного мира ему понадобился аппарат, позволяющий дышать под водой. Пытливый ум справился и с этой задачей, и первый акваланг был изобретен именно знаменитым итальянцем. Для изготовления костюма "дайвера" была использована кожа, стеклянные линзы позволяли смотреть вокруг, а для чересчур сильного восторга от красот подводного мира был предусмотрен мешочек для оправления естественной нужды. Воздух подавался по специально для этих целей закрепленным тростниковым трубкам. В месте их сочленения с кожей, Леонардо предусмотрел пружины, не позволяющие коже спадаться под давлением воды. С Собой аквалангист брал мешочки с песком - балласт, резервуар с воздухом (на случай экстренного всплытия), нож и веревку, а так же рожок для подачи сигнала о всплытии наверх.

Изобретения Леонардо да Винчи в области воздухоплавания

Всю жизнь Леонардо мечтал о небе. Он считал страшной несправедливостью невозможность полета в облаках и всячески работал над ее устранением. Среди рисунков и набросков, дошедших до наших дней, есть модель устройства для полета, которую принято считать прототипом вертолета. Отсутствие современных материалов, используемых в самолетостроении, в военной промышленности, значительно усложняло работу ученого, но он искал варианты среди того, что было ему доступно.

Например, в случае с "вертолетом", винт аппарата должен был быть изготовлен из накрахмаленного льна. А приводить его в движение для запуска предполагалось вручную. Идея осталась не воплощенной. Леонардо утратил к ней интерес, переключившись на естественное крыло, созданное природой.

Долгими и безуспешными, но, безусловно, интересными с точки зрения современных исследователей, были попытки создать аппарат, летающий, как птица и обладающий возможностью поднять в воздух человека. Отбросив эту идею, Леонардо да Винчи увлекся планирующим полетом. Конструкция крепилась к спине человека, позволяя управлять ею и изменять направление полета. Та часть, которая непосредственно крепилась к телу, была самой широкой и неподвижной, а вот кончики можно было сгибать с помощью тонких тросиков, меняя, таким образом, вектор полета.

Как ни удивительно это звучит, но и парашют был изобретен тоже да Винчи. Он описывал его, как тканевый купол, с высотой примерно 7,2 м. Ученый утверждал, что с таким приспособлением можно прыгать с любой высоты, не опасаясь за свое здоровье. Техническое воплощение этой бесценной идеи свершилось лишь в начале двадцатого века - ранцевый спасательный парашют, который крепился на спине и открывался в воздухе, был создан русским изобретателем Глебом Котельниковым.

Леонардо да Винчи разрабатывал и самодвижущиеся машины

Но не только в небе и под водой искал вдохновение для своих открытий и идей великий итальянец. Дела земные его, к счастью, интересовали не меньше. Ведь именно Леонардо изобрел первый ...автомобиль! Пружинный механизм приводил в движение повозку о трех колесах, а дополнительное четвертое колесо располагалось впереди на деревянном рычаге и служило для поворотов машины. Задние колеса приводились в движение с помощью системы шестеренок. В жизнь подобное чудо техники, для движения которого прикладывали силу два человека, было воплощено лишь спустя сто с лишним лет, а настоящие автомобили появились еще позже.

Напоследок, стоит упомянуть о большом количестве "повседневных" изобретений, которые с успехом используются по сей день (несколько доработанные и модернизированные, но ведь этот факт не умаляет заслуги Леонардо да Винчи). Им был изобретен прибор, позволяющий сверлить дерево и землю, колесцовый пистолетный замок, признанный еще при жизни изобретателя, телескоп с двумя линзами, велосипед, катапульту, прожектор - этот список можно продолжать очень долго.

После себя Леонардо оставил около тринадцати тысяч страниц рукописей, и не все из них на сегодняшний день полностью расшифрованы. А найденный в 2005 году тайный архив Леонардо позволяет надеяться, что есть еще тайны и загадки, которые оставил после себя пытливый, гениальный изобретатель.

Who Was Pablo Picasso?

Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist and stage designer considered one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century. Picasso is credited, along with Georges Braque, with the creation of Cubism.

Early Life

Pablo Picasso was born in Málaga, Spain, on October 25, 1881. Picasso's mother was Doña Maria Picasso y Lopez. His father was Don José Ruiz Blasco, a painter and art teacher.

His gargantuan full name, which honors a variety of relatives and saints, is Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso.

A serious and prematurely world-weary child, the young Picasso possessed a pair of piercing, watchful black eyes that seemed to mark him destined for greatness.

"When I was a child, my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk you'll end up as the pope,'" he later recalled. "Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso."

Though he was a relatively poor student, Picasso displayed a prodigious talent for drawing at a very young age. According to legend, his first words were "piz, piz," his childish attempt at saying "lápiz," the Spanish word for pencil.

Education

Picasso's father began teaching him to draw and paint when he was a child, and by the time he was 13 years old, his skill level had surpassed his father's. Soon, Picasso lost all desire to do any schoolwork, choosing to spend the school days doodling in his notebook instead.

"For being a bad student, I was banished to the 'calaboose,' a bare cell with whitewashed walls and a bench to sit on," he later remembered. "I liked it there, because I took along a sketch pad and drew incessantly ... I could have stayed there forever, drawing without stopping."

In 1895, when Picasso was 14 years old, his family moved to Barcelona, Spain, where he quickly applied to the city's prestigious School of Fine Arts. Although the school typically only accepted students several years his senior, Picasso's entrance exam was so extraordinary that he was granted an exception and admitted.

Nevertheless, Picasso chafed at the School of Fine Arts' strict rules and formalities, and began skipping class so that he could roam the streets of Barcelona, sketching the city scenes he observed.

In 1897, a 16-year-old Picasso moved to Madrid to attend the Royal Academy of San Fernando. However, he again became frustrated with his school's singular focus on classical subjects and techniques.

During this time, he wrote to a friend: "They just go on and on about the same old stuff: Velázquez for painting, Michelangelo for sculpture." Once again, Picasso began skipping class to wander the city and paint what he observed: gypsies, beggars and prostitutes, among other things.

In 1899, Picasso moved back to Barcelona and fell in with a crowd of artists and intellectuals who made their headquarters at a café called El Quatre Gats ("The Four Cats").

Inspired by the anarchists and radicals he met there, Picasso made his decisive break from the classical methods in which he had been trained, and began what would become a lifelong process of experimentation and innovation.

Paintings

Picasso remains renowned for endlessly reinventing himself, switching between styles so radically different that his life's work seems to be the product of five or six great artists rather than just one.

Of his penchant for style diversity, Picasso insisted that his varied work was not indicative of radical shifts throughout his career, but, rather, of his dedication to objectively evaluating for each piece the form and technique best suited to achieve his desired effect.

"Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should," he explained. "Different themes inevitably require different methods of expression. This does not imply either evolution or progress; it is a matter of following the idea one wants to express and the way in which one wants to express it."

Blue Period

Art critics and historians typically break Picasso's adult career into distinct periods, the first of which lasted from 1901 to 1904 and is called his "Blue Period," after the color that dominated nearly all of his paintings over these years.

At the turn of the 20th century, Picasso moved to Paris, France - the center of European art - to open his own studio. Lonely and deeply depressed over the death of his close friend, Carlos Casagemas, he painted scenes of poverty, isolation and anguish, almost exclusively in shades of blue and green.

'Blue Nude' and 'The Old Guitarist'

Picasso's most famous paintings from the Blue Period include "Blue Nude," "La Vie" and "The Old Guitarist," all three of which were completed in 1903.

In contemplation of Picasso and his Blue Period, writer and critic Charles Morice once asked, "Is this frighteningly precocious child not fated to bestow the consecration of a masterpiece on the negative sense of living, the illness from which he more than anyone else seems to be suffering?"

Rose Period: 'Gertrude Stein' and 'Two Nudes'

By 1905, Picasso had largely overcome the depression that had previously debilitated him, and the artistic manifestation of Picasso's improved spirits was the introduction of warmer colors-including beiges, pinks and reds-in what is known as his "Rose Period" (1904-06).

Not only was he madly in love with a beautiful model, Fernande Olivier, he was newly prosperous thanks to the generous patronage of art dealer Ambroise Vollard. His most famous paintings from these years include"Family at Saltimbanques" (1905), "Gertrude Stein" (1905-06) and "Two Nudes" (1906).

Cubism

Cubism was an artistic style pioneered by Picasso and his friend and fellow painter Georges Braque.

In Cubist paintings, objects are broken apart and reassembled in an abstracted form, highlighting their composite geometric shapes and depicting them from multiple, simultaneous viewpoints in order to create physics-defying, collage-like effects. At once destructive and creative, Cubism shocked, appalled and fascinated the art world.

'Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon'

In 1907, Picasso produced a painting that today is considered the precursor and inspiration of Cubism: "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon."

A chilling depiction of five nude prostitutes, abstracted and distorted with sharp geometric features and stark blotches of blues, greens and grays, the work was unlike anything he or anyone else had ever painted before and would profoundly influence the direction of art in the 20th century.

"It made me feel as if someone was drinking gasoline and spitting fire," Braque said, explaining that he was shocked when he first viewed Picasso's "Les Demoiselles." Braque quickly became intrigued with Cubism, seeing the new style as a revolutionary movement.

French writer and critic Max Jacob, a good friend of both Picasso and painter Juan Gris, called Cubism "the 'Harbinger Comet' of the new century," stating, "Cubism is ... a picture for its own sake. Literary Cubism does the same thing in literature, using reality merely as a means and not as an end."

Picasso's early Cubist paintings, known as his "Analytic Cubist" works, include "Three Women" (1907), "Bread and Fruit Dish on a Table" (1909) and "Girl with Mandolin"(1910).

His later Cubist works are distinguished as "Synthetic Cubism" for moving even further away from artistic typicalities of the time, creating vast collages out of a great number of tiny, individual fragments. These paintings include "Still Life with Chair Caning" (1912), "Card Player" (1913-14) and "Three Musicians" (1921).

Classical Period: 'Three Women at the Spring'

Picasso's works between 1918 and 1927 are categorized as part of his "Classical Period," a brief return to Realism in a career otherwise dominated by experimentation. The outbreak of World War I ushered in the next great change in Picasso's art.

He grew more somber and, once again, preoccupied with the depiction of reality. His most interesting and important works from this period include"Three Women at the Spring" (1921), "Two Women Running on the Beach/The Race" (1922) and "The Pipes of Pan" (1923).

'Guernica'

From 1927 onward, Picasso became caught up in a new philosophical and cultural movement known as Surrealism, the artistic manifestation of which was a product of his own Cubism.

Picasso's most well-known Surrealist painting, deemed one of the greatest paintings of all time, was completed in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War: "Guernica." After Nazi German bombers supporting Francisco Franco's Nationalist forces carried out a devastating aerial attack on the Basque town of Guernica on April 26, 1937, Picasso, outraged by the bombing and the inhumanity of war, painted this work of art.

In black, white and grays, the painting is a Surrealist testament to the horrors of war, and features a minotaur and several human-like figures in various states of anguish and terror. "Guernica" remains one of the most moving and powerful anti-war paintings in history.

Later Works: 'Self Portrait Facing Death'

In contrast to the dazzling complexity of Synthetic Cubism, Picasso's later paintings display simple, childlike imagery and crude technique. Touching on the artistic validity of these later works, Picasso once remarked upon passing a group of school kids in his old age, "When I was as old as these children, I could draw like Raphael, but it took me a lifetime to learn to draw like them."

In the aftermath of World War II, Picasso became more overtly political, joining the Communist Party. He was twice honored with the International Lenin Peace Prize, first in 1950 and again in 1961.

By this point in his life, he was also an international celebrity, the world's most famous living artist. While paparazzi chronicled his every move, however, few paid attention to his art during this time. Picasso continued to create art and maintain an ambitious schedule in his later years, superstitiously believing that work would keep him alive.

Picasso created the epitome of his later work, "Self Portrait Facing Death," using pencil and crayon, a year before his death. The autobiographical subject, drawn with crude technique, appears as something between a human and an ape, with a green face and pink hair. Yet the expression in his eyes, capturing a lifetime of wisdom, fear and uncertainty, is the unmistakable work of a master at the height of his powers.

DOWNLOAD BIOGRAPHY'S PABLO PICASSO FACT CARD

Women

A lifelong womanizer, Picasso had countless relationships with girlfriends, mistresses, muses and prostitutes, marrying only twice.

He wed a ballerina named Olga Khokhlova in 1918, and they remained together for nine years, parting ways in 1927. They had a son together, Paulo. In 1961, at the age of 79, he married his second wife, Jacqueline Roque.

While married to Khokhlova, he began a long-term relationship with Marie-Thérèse Walter. They had a daughter, Maya, together. Walter committed suicide after Picasso died.

Between marriages, in 1935, Picasso met Dora Maar, a fellow artist, on the set of Jean Renoir's film Le Crime de Monsieur Lange (released in 1936). The two soon embarked upon a partnership that was both romantic and professional.

Their relationship lasted more than a decade, during and after which time Maar struggled with depression; they parted ways in 1946, three years after Picasso began having an affair with a woman named Françoise Gilot, with whom he had two children, son Claude and daughter Paloma. They went separate ways in 1953. (Gilot would later marry scientist Jonas Salk, the inventor of the polio vaccine.)

Children

Picasso fathered four children: Paulo (Paul), Maya, Claude and Paloma Picasso. His daughter Paloma - featured in several of her father's paintings - would become a famous designer, crafting jewelry and other items for Tiffany & Co.

Death

Picasso died on April 8, 1973, at the age of 91, in Mougins, France. He died of heart failure, reportedly while he and his wife Jacqueline were entertaining friends for dinner.

Legacy

Considered radical in his work, Picasso continues to garner reverence for his technical mastery, visionary creativity and profound empathy. Together, these qualities have distinguished the "disquieting" Spaniard with the "piercing" eyes as a revolutionary artist.

For nearly 80 of his 91 years, Picasso devoted himself to an artistic production that he superstitiously believed would keep him alive, contributing significantly to - and paralleling the entire development of - modern art in the 20th century.
