On October 25, 1881, was born the painter, sculptor, engraver and ceramist Spanish Pablo Picasso (Pablo Ruiz Blasco).

Picasso was not satisfied to have a single role in his life. So he played many, real and imaginary, but all with the same passion. He was Andalusian and Catalonian, Spanish and French. He was a brilliant child, an ‘irresponsible’ stranger in Paris, because of which the Montmartre district entered into legend.

He was a passionate lover, husband, and father. But above all, he was the most brilliant artistic personality of the twentieth century, one of the great masters of the brush, which definitively broke with conventions and figurative style illusionist, dominant since the Renaissance.

As cubist paintings decomposed reality, the work of Picasso is a mirror that allows the tracking of art in the twentieth century and also private life of the artist. His canvases were reminiscent of a diary that glorifies women loved beauty and heroism. Eighty years of art – painting, sculpture, poetry, graphic arts, ceramics Picasso’s creation reflects the versatility that lives for art and through art.

In his personal life, Picasso was extremely brutal. Dora Maar, perhaps the most beautiful and talented of his mistresses, was beaten and left lying unconscious on the floor. Another mistress said: ‘He hit me in the head’.

Sade was his favorite reading. On Marie-Thérèse Walter, which he seduced when she was 17 and convinced her to read on Sade and later initiated her in sadistic practices.

Picasso liked to make women fight with each other. In such a circumstance, Dora Maar and Marie-Thérèse Walter were taken on the line, while Picasso, who had started the brawl, watched them while quietly painting.
