The Genius оf Psychic Terrоr: Pаblо Picаsso Picаsso has been called THE genius of the twentieth century. Perhaps more than any single painter, he changed the direction of art, inaugurating the modernist style. He was a pioneer of Cubism, and later of collage art, and then neo-classicism. He was the first to paint most fully his own mind, rather than the object before him. After Picasso, no subject matter was off limits to artistic expression. And still today his Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and Guernica are iconic works known to every art lover. As someone who had often sat at table with Picasso, Gertrude Stein understood that he was a real genius. Paragraph 1 Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain, in 1881. Ruiz was his father’s family name and Picasso his mother’s--the reason painter Pablo chose the latter will become clear in a moment. At the age of fourteen, Picasso’s family moved to Corunna and then Barcelona. At sixteen, he was entirely on his own, living alone in Madrid, and at eighteen, he made his first trip to Paris, moving there permanently in 1904. Thereafter, France was Picasso’s adopted home. A prodigy is something outside the bounds of nature, and Picasso was certainly that. Family members said that he could draw before he could talk (Einstein was also a late talker). The first word he uttered was piz, his baby word for lapiz (pencil). When he wanted something, he would simply draw it as, for example, “the long, twisting, sugar-dusted fritters one buys hot from stalls all over Spain.” As a painter, Picasso had a natural advantage, as would a musician with perfect pitch. Imagine that you are that one person in 10,000 who can instantly and accurately identify any musical pitch. You can also go to the piano and reproduce the melody of a tune at pitch on only one hearing. Already you have a head start in your profession. Similarly, Picasso seems to have had a “perfect eye” for drawing. This sort of eye-to-hand duplicative ability is genetic and cannot be taught—anymore than absolute pitch can be taught. It comes immediately and effortlessly. Moreover, like Mozart, Picasso had the ability to “see” a work of art in his mind--if not fully formed, then at least in most of its particulars. This gift of conjuring--instantaneous conceptual thinking--stayed with him until the very end. A rebellious resistance to formal education seems only to have enhanced Picasso’s natural gifts. The more the father pushed for conventional learning, the more the boy pushed back toward the art he loved. In class, young Picasso was disruptive, preferring to go to the window sill, look out, and draw. According to his lifelong friend Jaime Sabartés: “He displayed only the profoundest indifference, especially toward words and numbers. He wanted only to scribble on all the papers on which he could lay his hands, to copy . . . everything he saw.” Picasso was no Einstein--but Einstein was no Picasso. Einstein played chess and Mozart’s sonatas on his violin; Picasso played dominoes and listened to guitar music in cafés. Genius follows more than one muse. As with most geniuses, Picasso learned not formally, but intuitively. Picasso also had, for better or for worse, a mentor: his father, José Ruiz y Blasco. José Ruiz was a painter whose one claim to fame was his capacity to depict pigeons. According to son Pablo, Don José had little patience with the most detailed part of the job, the feet, and these became the task of the son. “My father would cut off the legs of a dead pigeon and pin them down on a board, in a convenient position, and I would copy them minutely, until they met with his approval.” Eventually, when Picasso was about age fourteen, “He gave me his paints and his brushes, and never went back to painting.” The incompetence of father Picasso, however, bestowed a gift upon the son—the foundation of a craft. More to his liking was the time Picasso spent in Madrid where he studied, not from professors in the academy to which he had been sent, but rather at the feet of the great masters in the Prado Museum, copying the works of Velasquez, Zubaran, and Goya. Vivaldi was copied by Bach, Bach by Mozart, Mozart by Beethoven, and Beethoven by Wagner. The great ones always learn their craft—but on their own. What title fits Paragraph 1 the most?
