Pablo Picasso - 6th Entry

I recently read on a book about Pablo Picasso, the artist who defied the conventions of art and made his place in the world of art. He was truly a genius and a visionary of his time. This is my assessment of him.
Picasso didn't go for the style he was popularly known for at first, because he actually did the conventional style of painters when he was still young. His family encouraged him to do painting and thanks to that, he nurtured his interest in painting and started to make paintings that conveyed what he had seen in childhood. This for me was a  good thing because what he draws in childhood conveyed a sense of happiness. When he becomes an adult, he suddenly and abruptly stops doing conventions and begins to create a style that upsets many of his followers and family. This is where his individualism develops. From here, I think it was a surprise for me but at the same time a  great development in his life because he creates the style he is most known for: Cubism. This is where it ignores the conventional form and conveys the mood or emotion of the situation or person he is trying to create. From here, his works go back and forth the convention and the unconventional but ultimately, he sticks to his style more often to create very thought-provoking pieces of art that you can't help but admire. In later years, even as he becomes old, his works never suffer from old age. He still works like that of a 20 year old. And so, I can say after reading about him, Pablo Picasso is the one of the great artists who defied the conventions of art and made his place in the world of art. He is unforgettable.
