when I look at you." and he discontinued his work. It was the turning-point in his creation and from there he began his way from representations separate people to representation a man as the man and to a shape like self-contained The "African" period (1907-1909) structure. Picasso needed confirmations his own way common development of the world art and new impressions for receipt new creation energy. The since opening of that time the whole layer of the African culture became an impulse for creation of the artist, He especially was interested African culture and masks, he reckoned that they had magic power and he had found in them the sensual simplicity of shapes.

Picasso, of course, didn't forget to convey his compulsory chaos: fancy bottles and vases, guitars, an old carpet, pictures of his favourite artists - Matisse, Cezanne, Russo, the collection of African masks. He always said he felt horror from harmony and good taste. He bought things which he liked, didn't worry how they looked.
In 1911, Autumn Picasso parted with Fernande. His new muse became Eva (Marsel Umber). They lived together and he created his own the cubism works on Montparnasse and in Avignon.

1. Авиньонские девицы – Les Demoiselles dAvignon is a large oil painting created in 1907 by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. The work portrays five nude female prostitutes from a brothel on Carrer dAvinyó in Barcelona, each figure is depicted in a disconcerting confrontational manner and none are conventionally feminine. The women appear as menacing and rendered with angular and disjointed body shapes. Three figures on the left exhibit facial features in the Iberian style of Picassos native Spain, the racial primitivism evoked in these masks, according to Picasso, moved him to liberate an utterly original artistic style of compelling, even savage force. In this adaptation of Primitivism and abandonment of perspective in favor of a flat, two-dimensional picture plane and this proto-Cubist work is widely considered to be seminal in the early development of both Cubism and Modern art. Les Demoiselles was revolutionary and controversial, and led to anger and disagreement, even amongst the painters closest associates. Matisse considered the work something of a bad joke, yet indirectly reacted to it in his 1908 Bathers with a Turtle, Braque too initially disliked the painting, yet perhaps more than anyone else, studied the work in great detail. And effectively, his subsequent friendship and collaboration with Picasso led to the Cubist revolution and its resemblance to Cézannes Les Grandes Baigneuses, Paul Gauguins statue Oviri and El Grecos Opening of the Fifth Seal has been widely discussed by later critics. A photograph of the Les Demoiselles was first published in an article by Gelett Burgess entitled The Wild Men of Paris, Matisse, Picasso and Les Fauves, The Architectural Record, at the time of its first exhibition in 1916, the painting was deemed immoral. The work, painted in the studio of Picasso at Le Bateau-Lavoir, was seen publicly for the first time at the Salon d’Antin in July 1916, an exhibition organized by the poet André Salmon. Picasso, who had referred to it as mon bordel, or Le Bordel dAvignon, never liked Salmons title. Picasso came into his own as an important artist during the first decade of the 20th century and he arrived in Paris from Spain around the turn of the century as a young, ambitious painter out to make a name for himself. Although he eventually left most of his friends, relatives and contacts in Spain, he continued to live, for several years he alternated between living and working in Barcelona, Madrid and the Spanish countryside, and made frequent trips to Paris. By 1904, he was settled in Paris and had established several studios. Between 1901 and 1904, Picasso began to achieve recognition for his Blue period paintings, in the main these were studies of poverty and desperation based on scenes he had seen in Spain and Paris at the turn of the century. Subjects included gaunt families, blind figures, and personal encounters, other paintings depicted his friends and he followed his success by developing into his Rose period from 1904 to 1907, which introduced a strong element of sensuality and sexuality into his work. Picasso became a favorite of the American art collectors Gertrude Stein, the Steins older brother Michael and his wife Sarah also became collectors of his work. Picasso painted portraits of both Gertrude Stein and her nephew Allan Stein, Gertrude Stein began acquiring Picassos drawings and paintings and exhibiting them in her informal Salon at her home in Paris
2. Алжирские женщины – Les Femmes dAlger is a series of 15 paintings and numerous drawings by the Spanish cubist artist Pablo Picasso. The series was inspired by Eugène Delacroixs 1834 painting The Women of Algiers in their Apartment, the series is one of several painted by Picasso in tribute to artists that he admired. The entire series of Les Femmes dAlger was bought by Victor, ten paintings from the series were later sold by the Ganzs to the Saidenberg Gallery, with the couple keeping versions C, H, K, M and O. Many of the paintings in the series are now in prominent public. In December 1954, Picasso began to paint a series of variations on Delacroixs The Women of Algiers in their Apartment. Matisse had been famous for his images of languid, voluptuous women known as odalisques — the French form of the Turkish word for women in a harem, when Matisse died he left his odalisques to me as a legacy, joked Picasso. Many of Picassos portrayals of Jacqueline circa 1955–56 represent her in this guise, the consequences of Picassos Femmes dAlger series were far-reaching, I thought so much about Les Femmes dAlger that I bought La Californie, Picasso explained to his biographer Pierre Daix. La Californie is a Belle-Époque villa situated in the foothills of Cannes in the South of France, Picasso bought it in 1955, and it was here that he painted the Nude in a Rocking-Chair. The light-filled interiors, the views over the Mediterranean and the exotic garden evoked a feeling of spaciousness, the art historian and collector Douglas Cooper was perhaps the first to realise that the paintings done at La Californie marked a return to Picassos peak form. In April 1956, he wrote to the curator Alfred Barr, I recently spent the day with Picasso, version C was sold in 1988 following Victor Ganzs death. Version H was completed on 24 January 1955, and was in sold for $7.15 million in November 1997, as part of the Ganz collection and it is part of the Nahmad Collection in Switzerland. In May 2015, it was on loan to Tate Liverpool, version J was sold at Sothebys in London in 2006 for $18.6 million and is part of the Nahmad Collection. Version K sold for $6.6 million in November 1997, as part of the Ganz collection, version L was bought by the Berggruen Museum in Berlin in 2011 for $11.4 million. Version M sold for $10 million in November 1997, as part of the Ganz collection, version N is held by the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis, and was bought by the Steinberg Fund, for the university, in 1960. Version O, the painting in the series, was painted in 1955. The painting sold for $31.9 million in November 1997, as part of the Ganz collection, Three other versions in the series owned by the Ganz family were also auctioned at the same time. Version O was bought, by the British art dealer Libby Howie, version O was auctioned at Christies New York for a second time in May 2015, and was expected to set a world record price for a work of art at auction. A pre-sale valuation of $140 million was placed by Christies on the painting, one of the highest ever placed on an auctioned artwork
3. Герника (картина) – Guernica is a mural-sized oil painting on canvas by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso completed in June 1937. The painting, which uses a palette of gray, black, standing at 3.49 meters tall and 7.76 meters wide, the large mural shows the suffering of people wrenched by violence and chaos. Prominent in the composition are a horse, a bull. The painting was created in response to the bombing of Guernica, the touring exhibition was used to raise funds for Spanish war relief. The painting became famous and widely acclaimed, and it helped bring attention to the Spanish Civil War. At the time, Picasso was living in Paris, where he had been named Honorary Director-in-Exile of the Prado Museum and he had last visited Spain in 1934 and never returned. His initial sketches for the project, on which he worked somewhat dispassionately from January until late April, immediately upon hearing reports of the 26 April bombing of Guernica, the poet Juan Larrea visited Picasso and urged him to make the bombing his subject. However, it was only on 1 May, having read George Steers eyewitness account of the bombing, Guernica is a town in the province of Biscay in Basque Country. During the Spanish Civil War, it was regarded as the bastion of the Republican resistance movement. The Republican forces were made up of assorted factions with differing goals, the Nationalists, led by General Francisco Franco, sought a return to pre-Republican Spain, based on law, order, and traditional Catholic values. At about 16,30 on Monday,26 April 1937, warplanes of the German Condor Legion, commanded by Colonel Wolfram von Richthofen, germany, at this time led by Hitler, had lent material support to the Nationalists. Later, intense aerial bombardment became a preliminary step in the Blitzkrieg tactic. The 250s toppled a number of houses and destroyed the water mains, the incendiaries now could spread and become effective. The materials of the houses, tile roofs, wooden porches, most inhabitants were away because of a holiday, a majority of the rest left town immediately at the beginning. A small number perished in shelters that were hit, guernicas location was at a major crossroads 10 kilometers from the front lines and between the front lines and Bilbao, the capital of Bizkaia. Any Republican retreat towards Bilbao and any Nationalist advance towards Bilbao had to pass through Guernica, during 25 April, many of the demoralized troops from Marquina fell back on Guernica, which lay 10 kilometers behind the lines. Wolfram von Richthofens war diary entry for 26 April 1937 states, K/88 was targeted at Guernica in order to halt, the following day, Richthofen wrote in his war diary, Guernica burning. The nearest military target of any consequence was a factory on the outskirts of the town, the factory went through the attack unscathed
4. Дора Маар с кошкой – Dora Maar au Chat is a 1941 painting by Pablo Picasso. It depicts Dora Maar, the lover, seated on a chair with a small cat perched on her shoulders. The work is one of the worlds most expensive paintings, the canvas was one of many portraits of Dora Maar painted by Pablo Picasso over their nearly decade-long relationship. Picasso fell in love at the age of 55 with the 29-year-old Maar and this painting was made during the year 1941, when the Nazis were occupying France. In the 1940s, the painting was obtained by Chicago collectors Leigh and they sold the painting in 1963 After that, the painting was never shown until the 21st century. During 2005 and 2006, Dora Maar au Chat, then owned by the Gidwitz family of Chicago, was shown worldwide as part of Sothebys exhibitions in London, Hong Kong and New York. It came up for sale in an auction of Impressionist/Modern works held at Sothebys on May 3,2006 in New York and making it the second-highest price ever paid for a painting at auction. An anonymous Russian bidder present at the New York auction won the work with a bid of US$95,216,000. The identity of the bidder, who spent more than US$100 million in total, and purchased an 1883 Monet seascape and a 1978 Chagall in addition to the Picasso, was a topic of much speculation. Apparently a novice bidder, though possibly acting as an agent for a more well-known collector, the faceted planes of her body and richly layered surface of brushstrokes impart a monumental and sculptural quality to this portrait. The painting is remarkable for its brilliance of colour and the complex. Dora Maar au Chat is one of Picasso’s most valued depictions of his lover and their partnership had been one of intellectual exchange and intense passion—Dora was an artist, spoke Picasso’s native Spanish, and shared his political concerns. She even assisted with the execution of the monumental Guernica and produced the only photo-documentary of the work in progress. She was an intellectual force – a characteristic that both stimulated and challenged Picasso and her influence on him resulted in some of his most powerful and daring portraits of his 75-year career. Among the best of them are the oils completed during the late 1930s and early 1940s, when Picasso’s art resonated with the drama and emotional upheaval of the era and which Dora came to personify. The luminous Dora Maar au Chat was painted in 1941, at the beginning of the Second World War in France, Maar was one of the most influential figures in Picasso’s life during their relationship and she also became his primary model. By the time he painted the present picture he had incorporated Dora Maar’s image into countless versions of this motif. During the occupation of Paris by the Nazis, and as tension mounted in their relationship, while the present portrait might seem a departure from Picassos more hostile depictions of this model, it may be one of his most brilliant and biting provocations of his Weeping Woman
5. Женщина в шляпе и меховом воротнике – The Woman in Hat and Fur Collar is a painting by Pablo Picasso exhibited at the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain. It was painted in Paris in 1937, and is one of the numerous portraits Picasso did of Marie-Thérèse Walter, in these portraits, Picasso carries out an exhaustive analytic exercise in which the youth and personality of Marie-Thérèse are subjected to a thousand metamorphic transfigurations. The portrait is at the same time epilogue to the confrontation between the two models of the moment, Marie-Thérèse and Dora Maar. The clear connection of Picassos works and his life is taken for granted today, and when his art of the early 1930s is discussed. Picassos affair with Marie-Therese was a secret, and she would gradually usurp the throne occupied by Olga Khokhlova. Marie-Therese will be subject to constant transformations, some range from portraits that are instantly recognizable to transcendent universal symbols. Fantastic reinventions of the body were always at the core of Picassos genius. In Woman in Hat and Fur Collar, the artist shows her facial profile and she is looking to viewers both left and right. In his work, woman is the vehicle for the expression of intense emotion, when the MNAC opened in 2004, there were some gaps in content especially with respect to modern artists. One of the most absent was Picasso, the work entered the museum in 2007, one of a set of 8 pieces that are part of a group and fills many gaps in the artists career. Details of the work, Oil on canvas Painted in Paris, the painting is not signed but dated as 4D37 in the upper right corner. It is a deposit of State since 2007, the company Albertis Foundation joined the museum MNAC reference number 214090, in addition to being in the museum´s collection, the picture was shown in the following exhibitions, Picasso.
