Picasso’s Famous Periods

O Blue PeriodO Sleeping Woman PeriodO CubismO SurrealismO Rose PeriodO African American Period

Blue PeriodPicasso began this period in 1901-1904. He wanted to attract some depression in these paintings. Such as poverty, starvation, and crying children. Though sad, the paintings were amazing. These were of the $400 range when painted.

Sleeping WomanThis period, painted in the 1920’s, was on the verge to be more lovely and romantic. It is believed that Picasso had fallen in love with a woman, Olga. These sold around $200 in the days they were painted in.

CubismThese paintings were created in 1908-1912. Using Gorges Braque’s technique as inspiration, Picasso made work of pure abstract. Back when, these were about $1,000-5,000, currently over $10,000.

SurrealismThese paintings were created in the 1930’s. This is the year Picasso got married to Olga, which resulted in him painting more “classical”. This period upheaved World War I. These sold for about $300 back then, now selling at over $1000.

Rose PeriodThis period of painting lasted from 1904-1906. This time, Picasso had been courting Fernande Oliver, whom of which he got his inspiration from. This time, he was painting something more of art-historic. It was a style never before made by him in history. These were around $400, now selling over $3000.

African American PeriodThis period lasted 1907-1909. In this case, a lot of artists surrounding him were getting into all slavery and African American’s. This encouraged Picasso to do his own research and paint what he could about this topic.One of these sold about $2,000 back then, now selling at over $4000.
