Pablos full birth name was "Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso." He was born on October 25,1881 and died on April 8 1973 at the age of 92. Picasso is a well known Spanish artist. His speciality was painting but he also did a little bit of sculpturing and enjoyed drawing. Picasso was a childhood prodigy, at seven years old his father who was also an artist was giving Picasso art lessons. When Picasso was thirteen his father saw that his technique was far better then his ever was and decided to give up painting.
In 1895 the Picasso family went through a rough time of their daughter Pablos sister passing away. Pablo and his family moved to Barcelona where he was put in a School of Fine Arts. Pablos father convinced his teachers to allow him to take a exam for an advanced class. He was admitted in the class at an age of 13.
Picassos family made a decison to send him to Madrid’s Royal Academy of San Fernando. A very prestegious art school. In 1897 when he was just 16, Picasso set off for the first time on his own. But being a bit of a rebel, he stopped attending class and went around Madrid musuems.
