Picasso

October 25, 1881 Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born.At the same time when Picasso was having one of his many flings, Eva became very sick. When Eva was hospitalized, that was the first time Picasso was alone in years. He went to see her everyday at the hospital, but he needed someone to comfort him during his lonely nights. He found someone to comfort him during his lonely nights. Gaby Lespinasse was her name. A beautiful twenty-seven year old Parisian. December 14, 1915, Eva dies. “My poor Eva is dead,” he wrote to Gertrude Stein. “ It was a great sorrow… she was always so good to me.” Ever since his little sister had so suddenly died, it seemed that death always winning.” (Huffington 52). This was Picasso saddest Christmas of his life. After Eva’s death Picasso met Olga Koklova, she was the daughter of a colonel in the Imperial Russian Army and had been bornin in Niezin, in the ukraine. Picassso had always had a fascination with Russian things. On July 12, 1918 Picasso married Olga. On February 4, 1921, Olga gave birth to a baby boy. They named him Paulo. Paulo was one of Picasso favorite subjects for many years. He first sketched him on the day he was born, and he continued and paint pictures of Paulo while he grew up. I

This was Picasso second child by a different women. “ The baby was given the name of her father’s dead sister, Maria de Alfonso 5 LaConcpcion, but on her birth certificate the identity of the father was declared unknown”(Huffington 54). He loved Paulo more than he loved her. He would later change her name to Maya Walter. One of Picasso’s best-known paintings is Guernica, done in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. Nazi airplanes had bombed the Spanish town of Guernica. Picasso was outraged by news of the death and destruction and put these feelings into a painting 26 feet long. It was painted in black, white, and grey, and it shows people dying and suffering raid. (e.library). The novelist Claude Roy, saw Guernica at the Paris World’s Fair and described it as “ a message from another planet.” “Its violence dumbfounded me, it petrified me with an anxiety I had never experienced before.” The Surrealist poet Michel Leiris summed up the sense of despair engendered by Guernica: “ In a rectangle of black and white such as that in which ancient tragedy appeared to us, Picasso sends us our announcement of our mourning: all that we love is going to die…..” Herbert Read went even further: all that we love, Picasso is saying has died. On May 15, 1947, at the Belvedere Clinic in Boulogne, Francoise gave birth to a baby boy. This was Picass’s third child by a third women. They named the baby Claude. This is what Dominique Desanti, who visited a few times after Claude was born had to say. “They were very striking couple together. She was so beautiful and he was really astonishing, so aesthetically they were very striking to look at. He would make aggressive remarks meant to pu down and humiliate her in front of otheres ans she would laugh and make what he said seem innocuous.
