In this article on Arthive,you will learn about 10 of the most famous paintings by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. Read the reports and reviews of the authors of Arthive.

Here mentioned are the top 10 of Picasso's famous paintings:

The Old Guitarist, 1903-1904

Considered to be one of Pablo Picasso's famous works,this painting was made at the time one of his close friends,Casagemas,committed suicide. This was the time in life when Picasso was more empathetic towards the downtrodden of the society and painted several canvases with the poor,ill and misfortune as his subjects.
His empathy came from personal experiences,as he,too,was penniless a couple of years before this painting. This Pablo Picasso artwork was made in Madrid,and the distorted nature of this painting is a recall from his past works like El Greco.
In this picture,you will find a sightless and bent man holding a humungous,round guitar. While the brown body represents the shift in color,the instrument covers the space around the figure,both physically and metaphorically.
The blindness and poverty-stricken man is very evident. At the time of the painting,several pieces of literature symbolized that blond characters had powers of inner vision,which is what Picasso is referring to here.

Ma Jolie, 1912

Known to be one of the most famous paintings by Picasso,the artist here is trying to suggest a musical association by locating a music staff and treble clef near the stenciled letters.
Literally translating to 'My Prettiest Girl', this painting was a reference to the popular song performed at the Parisian music hall Picasso often went to. The name of this painting was essentially a nickname given to his lover at the time,Marcelle Humbert.
In this picture,you will see her figure constructed with Picasso's signature shifting planes of Analytic Cubism . While you can find many clues of the representation of the artist's beloved,it is far from any conventional portrait.
You will see a triangular form strung like a guitar in the lower bottom,while below it,you will see four fingers. Along with that,you will see the elbow on the right and a floating smile,which is hardly understandable on the top half of the canvas.

La Vie, 1903

Another one of Pablo Picasso's famous art,this oil painting,is often said to be the pinnacle of Picasso's blue period. Located in the permanent collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art,this painting was made in Barcelona in 1903.
This was Pablo Picasso's famous artwork that depicted two pairs of people and a naked couple confronting a mother carrying her child in her arms.
You will also find two paintings within the painting. While the upper one shows a nude couple hugging,the lower one is of a lonesome nude person. The other pair can be seen in the background of the room,which appears to be a studio. The latter is said to be inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's Sorrow.
Even though Picasso repainted another motif of a birdman attacking a naked woman,only traces of it are visible to the naked eye.

Les Demoiselles D'Avignon, 1907

Of all Pablo Picasso's drawings and paintings,this is one of the most enormous oil paintings. It essentially portrays five naked female prostitutes in a brothel near a street in Barcelona. This art is now a part of the Museum of Modern art.
Neither of the figures is conventionally feminine,and each is portrayed in a rather confrontational and disconcerting manner. The figures are represented with disjointed and angular body shapes.
However,the one on the left shows a dress of Egyptian origin and noticeable facial features. While the two on the right are drawn in an African mask style,the two on the left are of the Iberian style of Picasso.

Guernica, 1937

Much like the prior mentioned painting,this one too is a large oil painting and is considered to be one of Pablo Picasso's famous paintings. Several critics and art enthusiasts regard this painting as a very powerful and moving anti-war image of history and Picasso's best work.
The white,black and grey painting shows suffering created through chaos and violence. Although you have to be rather discerning to notice the contents of the painting,it shows a stabbed horse,a dead baby along with a screaming woman and a mutilated soldier and flames.
It was painted in Paris as a response to the 1937 bombing of Guernica. This is Picasso's famous artwork which is still showcased in Madrid at Museo Reina Sofia.

Portrait of Dora Maar, 1937

Undoubtedly one of the most famous works of Picasso,this oil painting depicts Dora Maar,one of Picasso's lovers.
This is rather one of Pablo Picasso's easy paintings when it comes to its description. Here you will see the subject sitting in a chair. She is depicted with expensive clothing and jewelry and portrayed to be an elegant woman.
Nevertheless,there are several intricate details in the painting that you should not miss. For one,you will see her wearing a deco jacket with a flower motif and long red nails. The posture further indicates that she is relaxed and has one hand risen to her cheek. It is located in Musee Picasso,in Paris,where it is said to be one of Pablo Picasso's best paintings.

Figures at the Seaside, 1931

During the summer of 1931,Picasso visited the French Riviera Resort and painted a series of beach scenes,one of which is this. This painting is said to be inspired by the painter's liaison with a 19-year old model and his deteriorating terms with his then-wife,Olga.
This is one of Picasso's famous paintings that aptly show Pablo Picasso's painting style and how he implements intricate details in plain sight. This painting portrays two mantis-headed beings sitting together.
This painting was quite popular with the surrealists,mainly because of the animal's habit of eating the male partner after intercourse and how it produced yet another visual metaphor.

The Soup, 1902

Considered to be Picasso's most famous painting by many,this painting was made when he was suffering from poverty. Although he got immense success in the earlier year,he quickly ran out of funds and was again one with the poverty surrounding him. In this painting,Picasso reflects upon the experiences he had from visiting a women's prison.
His inspiration for this painting was the murals painted by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes inside the Pantheon. Much like one of the drawings in the mural,this painting,too,showed a woman helping another from starving on the street. However,even in the original mural,Picasso was the one who sketched this scene.

Large Nude in a Red Armchair, 1929

Housed in the Merill Collection,this painting is said to be influenced by surrealism and be a portrait of his first wife,Olga. Picasso had a total of 7 serious relationships throughout his lifetime,all of which inflicted some kind of trauma for him,along with this one.
Olga turned bitter towards the artist once they ended their relationship. You can clearly see the influence of such trauma in Pablo Picasso's paintings. While earlier on,she was portrayed as an elegant and sentimental woman,from this point,his color pallet changed to a more saturated color,muted tones. That said,recently,in 2012,this painting was vandalized but quickly restored by authorities.

The Weeping Woman, 1937

Easily Picasso's most famous work,this one was created in France and depicted one of his mistresses,Dora Maar.
This painting came at the end of a series he dedicated to the Guernica Bombing. However,he was really intrigued with the subject of this painting and revisited it quite a number of times throughout that year.
This painting has good reason to be Pablo Picasso's most famous painting as it was the most elaborate one of the series. You can visit it in London at Tate Modern.

The great Mexican muralist painter, Diego Rivera, is an icon of 20th century communist art. The husband of artist Frida Kahlo, the pair left a lasting imprint on the world, especially in Latin American. While Diego Rivera's portfolio is colossal, Artsper offers a small selection of 10 of his best masterpieces!
1. Epopeya del pueblo mexicano: A fresco of and for the Mexican people

The Epopeya del Pueblo Mexicano is certainly the most famous of Diego Rivera's artworks. This mural is monumental in both form and content, covering three different walls with a total surface area of 276 m². The separate parts dialogue with each other linked by a chronological logic. First, the right wall depicts pre-Hispanic Mexico and Toltec culture, through the myth of Ce Acatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl. The middle wall represents Mexico after the fall of the Aztec Empire and until the revolution of 1910. The last wall illustrates the "Mexico of today and tomorrow", a Marxist Mexico of the 20th century. Emblematic, this fresco covering the walls of the National Palace of Mexico City traces the history of the Mexican people.

2. Río Juchitán: Diego Rivera's most peaceful artwork

Also known as Baño de Tehuantepec, this mural is made of Venetian mosaics. Fascinated by this region, Rivera offers a scene of life inspired by Tehuantepec, the city and region known for its traditional women's dress, which was adopted by Frida Kahlo. Covering more than 25 m², we can admire different characters going about their daily activities. Another specificity of this work is the use the technique recto verso. This is a way for the painter to give spectators two different points of view of a similar scene.

3. Paisaje zapatista - El guerrillero: Cubism in Diego Rivera's artwork

Less well known, Rivera's early work as a painter was strongly influenced by Cubist inspirations. This work is a perfect illustration: a representation of Mexico, as crazy as it is poetic!

4. Dance of Tehuantepec: An ode to Mexican dance

A dynamic scene of life, Dance of Tehuantepec illustrates once again Rivera's love for this region. It's a new tribute to the Mexican people and their culture, through a harmonious dance.

5. Man, Controller of the Universe: A portrait of 1930s society

A true symbol of the 1930s, this monumental fresco paints a social and cultural portrait of its time. Industry, science, ethics, communism and capitalism are among the subjects raised in Diego Rivera's visionary piece of art. This work is to be viewed again and again each time with new depth and meaning.

6. Sueño de una Tarde Dominical en la Alameda Central: A daydream

Translated as Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in the Central Alameda, this work of art presents emblematic characters of Mexico. The ubiquitous Calavera Catrina (Elegant Skull) is placed in the center. She holds the hand of Diego Rivera, who is shown as a child under the protection of Frida Kahlo. Around her, Francisco I. Madero, Porfirio Díaz, Winfield Scott and Benito Juárez, walk in the garden of Alameda Central.

7. The Flower Carrier: A tribute to the workers of the fields

Flowers are a recurring theme in Rivera's work, as is the workers of the fields and the harvest. This extremely delicate painting highlights the difficulty of the work of the flower bearer. It is Rivera's way of paying homage to these workers, whose hard work he respected and admired.

8. Los Rivales: Diego Rivera's artwork at the highest value

Since May 2018, this has become one of the most Diego Rivera's famous paintings. It made headline news following an auction at Christie's. Los Rivales sold for almost $10 million, becoming the most expensive work by a Latin American artist.

9. Ignacio Sanchéz: One of Diego Rivera's best portraits

Through his travels and encounters, Diego Rivera created beautiful portraits of the Mexican people. Here, the artist represents with sweetness and simplicity the little Ignacio, a Mexican boy. A work that is both moving and relaxing, thanks to its authenticity and soothing colors.

10. Detroit Industry: the most monumental of Diego Rivera's artworks

A true ode to communism, this colossal fresco represents Ford workers at the factory. It is part of a series of 27 murals on industry painted by Rivera from 1932 to 1933. As a permanent part of the Detroit Institute of Art, Detroit Industry stands boldly as a "Social, Political and Aesthetic Declaration." A true representation of art reflected in the communist movement amidst the rise of capitalism.

The radically grandiose work of Diego Rivera

Diego Rivera was impressive for his plurality of approaches and inspirations. A defender of Mexican culture, he was no less a communist, a classical portraitist and a cubist painter. Ultimately, his work is characterized by the size of his paintings, as imposing as the impact he left on the world of art.
