 Picasso was born so feeble that the midwife assumed he was dead and placed him on a table. His uncle, who was smoking a large cigar, approached the newborn and blew a smoke ring into his face and was saved thanks to this.[([[https://www.surinenglish.com/lifestyle/201909/06/pablo-picasso-baby-everyone-20190906100957-v.html|surinenglish]])] Picasso was born so feeble that the midwife assumed he was dead and placed him on a table.

 +
 +===== Death Without Will =====
 +
 +Picasso died without a will, therefore his death obligations (estate tax) to the French state were paid with his artworks.[([[https://www.nytimes.com/1979/09/12/archives/france-taking-picassos-as-taxes.html|nytimes]])]
 +
 +===== Famous Quote =====

 +
 +===== Full Name =====
 +
 +Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Nepomuceno Mara de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santisima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruz y Picasso is Picasso's entire name, which consists of 23 syllables. His name has references to saints as well as family members.[([[https://9gag.com/gag/aGdg44G|9gag]])]
 +
 +===== Parents' Names =====
 +
 +Pablo Picasso takes his surname from his mother, Mara Picasso y López. José Ruz Blasco is his father's name.[([[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Pablo-Picasso|britannica]])]
 +
 +===== Collage =====
 +
 +In 1912, Picasso developed collage (from the French, "to glue") by attaching oilcloth, newspaper clippings, and other material to the surface of a painting.[([[https://www.theartstory.org/definition/collage/|theartstory]])]
 +
 +===== Collage As Component Of Contemporary Art =====
 +
 +Collage, because to his and Georges Braque's ability, became a distinct component of contemporary art, rejecting the notion that art is a window to nature in favor of an arrangement of symbolic messages.[([[https://artincontext.org/collage-art/|artincontext]])]
 +
 +===== Different Styles =====
 +
 +Picasso frequently switched between styles, sometimes even within the same artwork.[([[https://www.theartstory.org/artist/picasso-pablo/|theartstory]])]
 +
 +===== Les Demoiselles d'Avignon =====
 +
 +Picasso's 1907 "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon", an abstract picture of five prostitutes, is regarded as one of his most groundbreaking works. His use of Primitivism and deconstructed perspective marked a significant departure from conventional European painting. The artwork, originally titled "The Brothel of Avignon," paved the path for Cubism.[([[https://montmartrefootsteps.com/picasso-demoiselles-d-avignon-influences/|montmartrefootsteps]])]
 +
 +===== Les Demoiselles d'Avignon Display =====
 +
 +Although Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" (1907) is most certainly the most studied work of art in the twentieth century, it was not shown until 1916. Picasso's pals thought the work was too contentious to show.[([[https://www.vermontpublic.org/vpr-news/2015-06-05/with-sight-and-sound-the-fleming-explores-picassos-radical-les-demoiselles-davignon|vermontpublic]])]
 +
 +===== Poetry =====
 +
 +Picasso began writing poems in 1935, at the age of 53. His poetry, like his paintings, defy categorization; they are typically untitled, lack punctuation, and are primarily sexual and scatological. One of his poems has the line "the fragrance of bread crusts marinating in pee".[([[https://www.penmai.com/community/threads/interesting-facts-every-day.90649/page-244|penmai]])]
 +
 +===== Communist Party =====
 +
 +Picasso, at 62, joined the French Communist Party shortly after Paris was liberated from the Nazis in 1944.[([[https://www.history.com/news/8-things-you-may-not-know-about-picasso|history]])]
 +
 +===== Stalin Peace Prize =====
 +
 +Picasso was given the International Stalin Peace Prize twice by the Soviet Union, once in 1950 and again in 1961 (then renamed the International Lenin Peace Prize). [([[https://www.pablopicasso.org/laterperiod.jsp|pablopicasso]])]
 +
 +===== Dove =====
 +
 +The Paris World Peace Conference selected Picasso's dove as the official symbol of many peace organisations in 1949.[([[https://www.aspeninstitute.org/blog-posts/dove-of-peace-by-pablo-picasso-painting-and-meditation/|aspeninstitute]])]
 +
 +===== Family After Death =====
 +
 +Picasso left behind a broken family of four children, eight grandkids, two marriages, and several lovers when he died in 1973.[([[https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2016/03/picasso-multi-billion-dollar-empire-battle|vanityfair]])]
