Picasso’s work is famous. His art is intricate yet bizarre. Many people have stood still over the wonders and simplicity of cubism and surrealism and have either been disgusted or amazed by it.
Picasso’s personal life was filled with struggles, but some of those were likely self-imposed. From records, we learn that he had multiple marriages, stepfamilies, and was extremely abusive in several of his relationships, dominating the women he slept with in kinky, sadistic ways. His children weren’t any better off, creating substance abuse and suicidal headlines.
Despite of the dysfunctionality in his personal and family life, his artwork reflected something new and fresh. His concepts of color, contrast, and composition have inspired many. And in a variety of paintings, an underlying rebel message against totalitarian regimes and the cruelty of warfare can be seen. Having lived through many of the horrors of the Spanish war, as well as other 20th-century conflicts, the painter showed both style and morale in his works and has left a legacy that can be studied by the masses.
