巴勃罗·毕加索(1881-1973)是历史上最知名的人物之一。他是西班牙画家,雕刻家,也或许是20世纪艺术界最响亮的人物。他开创了立体主义绘画。画作《格尔尼卡》是他的代表作之一,作品讲述了西班牙内战时期,德军对西班牙城市格尔尼卡的轰炸场面。
Picasso was born into a middle-class family. He took after his father, who was also a painter and a professor of art. From the age of seven, Picasso had formal art lessons from his father. Picasso threw everything into art and his school grades went down. Aged 3 16, the family sent Picasso to study at Madrid’s Royal Academy 4 of Art.

Picasso moved to Paris in 1900. It was difficult for him to make a living. In 1911, he was questioned by the police for stealing the Mona Lisa. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married ballerina Olga Khokhlova. She introduced him to the rich people of Paris in the 1920s. He became a celebrity 5 and a very respected artist.

Picasso also acted in movies and always played himself in his film appearances. He became famous for his anti-war views. His painting Guernica showed the horror 6 of war. He publicly opposed America’s involvement in the Korean War. After his death, the French state kept many of his paintings. Today, much of his work hangs in a collection at the Musee Picasso in Paris.
毕加索还出演了多部电影,并本色出演。毕加索反对战争。画作《格尔尼卡》展现了战争的黑暗面。他还公开反对美国介入朝鲜战争。去世后,法国收藏了许多毕加索画作。如今,他的大部分画作都在毕加索博物馆展出。
