How many times was Picasso married?

Asked by Wiki User

Pablo Picasso clearly adored women, it certainly seems, given the amount of paintings, drawings and other art of Picasso that he made he, to some degree objectified the women he loved. Of the many women that Picasso loved, he only married two of them. It's uncertain if there is a definitive number of mistresses Picasso had. It is uncertain what the questioner means by mistress, but that Picasso had mistresses, kept mistresses and loved them is indeed certain. Of the many women Picasso loved, there are at least eight of those women who were also adored and lovingly rendered by the artist. These eight women were:

Ferdinande Oliver

She was the subject of many of Picasso's Rose Period paintings and was his first real long term relationship with a women. Picasso met her in Paris in 1904. His Rose period was from 1905 to 1907. Their relationship lasted seven years. Ferdinande left Picasso in 1912 after Pablo had all ready taken in interest in Marcelle Humbert also known as...

Eva Gouel

Even though this relationship was cut short by her tragic death, the evidence of Picasso's love for this woman can be found in certain paintings where the artist painted "I love Eva" in some of his paintings. All though he clearly loved this woman and was devastated by her death, while she lay sick on her death bed, Picasso managed to find time for a woman by the name of Gaby Lespinasse.

Olga Khokhlova

Met Picasso while he was in Rome designing the ballet "Parade", that would be performed by the Ballet Russe. They married in 1980 and for the next decade fought and argued and found it difficult to get along. Their tastes were different, even their lifestyles clashed. In spite of this, they had one son Paul but in 1927 Pablo Picasso had met another woman and separated from Olga. They never divorced so Picasso didn't have to surrender half of his wealth, and it remained that way until Olga's death in 1955.

Marie-Therese Walter

In 1927 Picasso took up residence with this seventeen year old girl in a flat across the street from his home with his wife Olga. Even though directly across the street from his wife he somehow managed to hide in plain sight and kept this relationship from his wife until Marie-Therese's pregnancy in 1935. All though Marie-Therese is the inspiration for Vollard Suite by Picasso, he fell in love with another women in 1936 and Marie-Therese was left rejected. She would hang herself in 1977 four years after Picasso's death.

Dora Maar

Picasso met this artist and photographer when she documented his painting of Guernica. They were inseparable until Picasso left her for Francoise....

Francoise Gilot

A young art student Picasso met in 1943 they would have two children together and themselves stayed together near a decade. But Gilot, frustrated with his abusive nature and unfaithfulness finally left him.

Genevive Laporte

Picasso first met Genevive when she interviewed him for a school paper. She was seventeen at the time. There time was brief together and Laporte left Picasso around the same time Francoise Gilot left him. The art inspired by Genevive is sometimes referred to as Picasso's "gentle period".

Jacqueline Roque

Suffering through the pain of this double whammy rejection, in 1953 Picasso met Jacqueline and in 1961 at 79 years of age Picasso married Jacqueline making her his second wife. They remained together until Picasso's death in 1973 and of all the women that he loved he created more works of art inspired by Jacqueline than any other women he had known. In 1986 Jacqueline shot herself.

There were, of course, many other women who Picasso had dallied with, but it was these eight who seemed to matter the most.

The first paintings in the style we call analytical cubism were painted in 1908 by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. They changed their style into synthetical cubism in 1912-1915. Other artists painted in styles that may be seen as cubism until about 1925. There was two stages of cubism. they were the analytic cubism and synthetic cubism. analytic was the early form of cubism, it lasted from 1907 to 1911. it was a short movement but it was important. The second movement was until 1919 that was until surrealism became more popular.

Cubism was named cubism because, cubism is just the representation of various things using basic geometric shapes sometimes showing multiple viewpoints of a particular image.

well, the difference is analytical was the first type and its aim was to have and image on one page with different views of it. Synthetic cubism was mainly made of other bits of things e.g. wallpaper and tobacco papers. it was call synthetic because it wasn't just made of paint

Georges Braques and Picasso developed Cubism in a couple of forms, Analytical Cubism and Synthetic Cubism. Braque and Picasso exchanged paintings daily, signing them on the back or not at all as they developed a new way of looking. Picasso changed his way of representing form of canvas when he saw an African sculpture that was taken from the Louvre. He went to a painting he had started, "Les Demoiselles D'Avignon" and modified, incorporating elements of the mask into his work, to the extent that his collectors thought he had gone mad!

Braque's family were decorators so he incorporated some wallpaper from the family business. Before that Picasso and Braque had used a subdued neutral palette, using black, white and a brown, sepia color, the two men were first in using the 2 dimensional support in a new way, flattening out the space as had Cezanne, a great influence on several of the artists from this period in the early years of the 20th C.

They worked in Paris.

cubism was invented shortly after the camera and artists thouht well if the camera can take pictures of things that look exactly how you see them so whats the point of us painting it. so they decided to figure out a new way to draw images. that's how they figured out cubism because they basically just wanted to show people an image from all sorts of angles!!!!!!

its all on the perspective

What makes cubism special?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cubism was a huge turning point in the history of art. Beginning with the Impressionists, the objective of artists began to shift from capturing detailed images of "a window onto the world." Paul Cezanne can be considered the founder of Cubism since his works broke down an image into it's basic geometric shapes and forms. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, two major artists of Cubism, were able to capture a 3D view of an image, which was revolutionary since all "traditional" art before this time period were flat and 2D. They were able to do this by breaking down an image into geometric forms and rearranging them.

people say that cubism is like looking in a cracked mirror everything becomes disorientated. if you are wanting to draw cibism then draw shapes on a page and in one shape draw part of an object then turn the object round and in another shape draw another part of that object. :)

What did cubism inspire?

Asked by Wiki User

Cubism is where the artist shows several views but all at the same time. This causes distortion, but the underlying shapes of the cube, cylinder, sphere and cone can still be picked out.

The artist who really used the idea of under lying shape was French artist Paul Cezanne. He was a post Impressionist and unlike the Impreassionists who concentrated more on the effect of light upon their subject, Cezanne wanted solidity. He pioneered looking at the surface of shapes and their under lying shapes and concentrating on them so much that the actual shapes became slightly distorted. He did not concern himself as much about perspective, and this causes distortion. He was interested in the new Japanese prints which were arriving in Europe and were being collected by other artists. They often have a different way of showing and using perspective.

Picasso and Braque are known to have have admired Cezanne. They took on board his ideas. Added to that Picasso had an interest in African sculpture. There is a story which may or may not be true that he stole an African sculpture from a Paris museum. Eventually he took it back, but anonymously!

Asked by WriteClub

Cubism started in Paris (France) in the early 20th Century, when Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque started to cooperate very closely by visiting their ateliers daily and exchanging all their ideas and new visual inventions in the years 1907 - 1914. Appolinaire became soon the art critic who connected himself to Cubism and published a lot in those years.

Then Braque had to join the French army in World War 1 (Picasso was not French!) and was severely injured in 1915. He recovered but was also changed a lot in his personality; their close relationship in making Cubist art was ended by then.

See the quotes by Picasso and Braque.

"Almost every evening ( around 1908, fh), either I went to Braque's studio or Braque came to mine. Each of us had to see what the other had done during the day. We criticized each other's work (a remark Picasso told Francoise Gilot already in December 1908)"

from "Futurism", ed. By Didier Ottinger; Centre Pompidou / 5 Continents Editions, Milan, 2008, p. 311, note 721 (art quotes, Pablo Picasso)

"At that time (around 1907/08) I was very friendly with Picasso. Our temperaments were very different, but we had the same idea. Later on it became clear, Picasso is Spanish and I am French; as everyone knows that mean a lot of differences, but during those days the differences did not count… …We were living in Montmarte, we used to meet every day, we used to talk… …In those years Picasso and I said things to each other that nobody will ever say again, that nobody could say any more… …It was rather like a pair of climbers roped together."

from a conversation with Dora Vallier, 1954; as quoted in "Letters of the great artists - from Ghiberti to Gainsborough -", Richard Friedenthal, Thames and Hudson , London, 1963

Picasso and Braques both were looking for a way to show different viewpoints on a two dimensional surface.

The three-dimensional work of Paul Cezanne was an influence on Cubism. Cubists attempted to show the reality of life and their world by breaking the objects or people they painted into parts, and showing them from different angles and interpretations.

Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque worked very closely together in the years 1907 - 1908, till the beginning of World War 1. In the summer of 1911 the two artists painted early cubist landscapes side by side in Ceret, in the French Pyrenees; their paintings and their approach then was almost identical. The influence of Cézanne was very strong in the paintings of this period. Later both artists started to make collages together in Paris.

In 1915 Braque was severely wounded in his head during a battle in World War 1. In 1917 he was recovered and developed a more personal and rather delicate style in his Cubism, stil-life became his main motif. Then started a close friendship with Juan Gris.
