Art historians point out that Picaso's long storied career is almost precisely coincidental with 20th century art. Some have argued that Picaso because of his powerful impact has largely driven 20th century art. A very young Pablo Picaso arrived in Paris at age 19 to begin his artistic career (1901). He was trained in the Spanish academic traditions. He had not yet created the art for which he was to become famous. Art experts studying Picaso have divided his work into several periods. The most noted are widely recognized. There is some disagreement about the less notable periods. Picasso's first period was his Blue Period (1901-04). He tended to use blue obviously during this period, but there is more to it than that. Some expert notice an obvious influence from El Greco and Toulouse-Lautrec, an interesting mix. Next came his Rose period (1905-08). Here it is not just aimple matter of using rose or red hues. His works were more iluminated and the essential spirit of the paintings were lighter as well. The Rose Period includes paintings of circus people with harlequins, and clowns. These first two periods included his most realistic imagery and this are of greatest interest to HBC. Then came a series of paintings with a clear Aftrican influence. Art historians have not, however, suggested an African period. Picasos's painting "Les Demoiselles d' Avignon" is commonly seen as a merger of the Blue and Rose periods (1907). Then came perhaps his most inovative and influential period--Analytical Cubism (1909-1912). Historiand than posit Synthetic Cubism (1912-1919). Art historians than suggest several pother periods, but there is wide disagreements both on he different periods and the time frame. And notably 20th century art itself went off on many different tangents.
