In his early age, the young Picasso was enrolled at the school where his father taught. He quickly grasped the concepts, surpassing even seniors at the institution. At the age of fifteen, a rich relative offered to pay for his training at the Royal Academy of Art in Barcelona. However, Picasso never graduated. He was restless, a trait that would remain with him throughout his professional and personal life.

Blue Period Picasso's Blue Period (1901–1904), characterized by somber paintings rendered in shades of blue and blue-green, only occasionally warmed by other colors. In addition to the death of his friend, the artist was still struggling, living in poverty. Two of his most famous paintings from this period is The Old Guitarist and Blue Nude.

Rose Period Between 1904 and 1906, Picasso's style is characterized by a more cheery style with orange and pink colors, and featuring many circus people, acrobats and harlequins known in France as saltimbanques . The harlequin, a comedic character usually depicted in checkered patterned clothing, became a personal symbol for Picasso.

Cubism Working with Georges Braque, Picasso created one of the most influential visual art styles of the early twentieth century - Cubism. Abandoning traditional use of perspective, Picasso created a convincing three-dimensional illusion of space, challenging viewers to understand a subject broken down into its geometrical components. Cubism rejected the inherited concept that art should copy nature, and becomes a form that was no longer intended to depict reality. Cubism artists wanted to emphasize the two-dimensionality of the canvas, so they reduced and fractured objects into geometric forms, and then realigned these within a shallow, relieflike space. In this way, Pablo Picasso truly transcended the art world, the way in which art came to be, and future works created by other artists that followed him.

Death When Picasso died at age 91 in April 1973, he had become one of the most famous and successful artist throughout history. He is also undeniably the most prolific genius in the history of art. His career spanned over a 78 year period, in which he created: 13,500 paintings, 100,000 prints and engravings, and 34,000 illustrations. Picasso was, and still is, seen as a magician by writers and critics, a metaphor that captures both the sense of an artist who is able to transform everything around him at a touch and a man who can also transform himself, elude us, fascinate and mesmerise us
