Pablo Picasso was the son of a painter who managed to notice his son's genius and provided him with the tools and education to become the great artist we know like today. He was the only pampered child of a family of women who supported his ego and his love of art. He traveled from his homeland, Spain, to Paris when he was accepted into the Paris Exposition. He thought this now made him a famous and beloved figure. He was wrong about this. In Paris he was erudite and other Spaniards were treated like 2nd class citizens. It also hurt him that he didn't speak his native language. This was part of his motivation to become and prove himself to be the best artist in the world. He also remained in France for most of his adult life. He did not return home to Spain after it was taken by fascist dictator Francisco Franco. Picasso had many relationships with women and many of them were younger than him. His art was driven by this and many works of his art showed the personality of these women. . Arnason and Mansfield (2012) quoted Picasso as saying “I paint objects as I think of them, not as I seem to be them.” This is a very inspiring quote. Perhaps this played into Picasso's greatest contribution as an artist to “Cubism”. Cubism was as much art as theory. Despite his ego, Picasso worked with George Braque to develop Cubism. Cubism was an experimental art style. He attempted to bring art back to its fundamentals (color, line, shape, structure, value and space). He did this to question the basic foundations of art. There are more works inspired by Cubism than actually Cubist ones. Pablo Picasso and Cubism go hand in hand in pushing art into new wonders
