Picasso has periods of time when he only painted using blue and
rose. The blue period lasted from 1902-1904. The rose (red and pink) period lasted from 1904-1906. Many still wonder why he chose to only paint in those two colors. Picasso's father Jose Ruiz was also a talented artist. Picasso continued painting into old age and he died on April 8th 1973. Many believe he still had many dreams ahead of him. Today you can still see Picasso's works of art on display in museums world wide. |
