There were many artist's that grabbed my attention when I looked at their art work. But when having to choose one that stood out to me the most would be Pablo Picasso's art. Pablo wanted to change the way people saw stuff and it clearly worked. In almost all of his paintings there's more than one thing going on and it's like Pablo makes the person looking at his art try and figure out what it means when it could possibly have several meanings. Pablo didn't just sketch pictures of other people, or plain objects with the same colors and texture, he used several colors and crazy disoriented things that came together to make an awesome looking photograph. All of Pablo's art work grabs my attention and I find myself looking at his work for several minutes trying to figure out what the piece is and the meaning of it.
Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881 in Malaga, Spain. He was one of the most recognized figures in 20th century art. Picasso was a spanish painter, a sculptor, printmaker, and even a stage designer. Pablo discovered his talent at the age of 10. His family moved to Barcelona in 1895, and Pablo entered the local art academy. The family hoped that their son would achieve success as an academic painter, and in 1897 his painting "Science and Charity", that his father modeled for the doctor, was awarded an honorable mention in Madrid at the Fine Arts Exhibition. Pablo met Fernande Olivier, a Bohemian artist who became his wife. Fernande Olivier appears in many of his Rose period paintings. Picasso had affairs with many younger women and got remarried and married a couple times. Pablo had three children with three different women. Eventually, as noticed in his work, Picasso began to realize his age and his attraction to younger women. Pablo Picasso died on April 8th, 1973 in Mougins, France. His final words were “Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can’t drink any more."

The two photographs above really interest me because not only are they filled with mixed color but they both have many things going on and different images that come together to make one. When looking at those pictures you can't fully understand what they mean because Pablo could have made more than one meaning or no meaning at all. They're fun to observe and try to figure out what the photograph really is.
What I find very interesting about Pablo Picasso is that his first word was "pencil". He was clearly born to be an artist.
