Picasso's Blue Room

About

Born in Malaga, Spain. Father Jose was an art teacher and painter. Mother Maria -- I took her name, not his. My father handed me his brushes and palette when I was thirteen and swore he would never paint again because I had surpassed him. I went through Blue Period, Rose Period, African Period, Cubism, Neoclassicism, Surrealism. I painted Guernica in five weeks after the Nazis bombed a Basque town. When a German officer saw a photograph of it and asked 'Did you do that?', I said 'No, you did.' I made 50,000 artworks in my lifetime. Paintings, sculptures, ceramics, prints, stage designs. I never stopped reinventing. The secret is not to find yourself. The secret is to invent yourself, over and over, until the world can't keep up.
