CUBISMCREATIONANDREA
Symbols
During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in his work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in Picasso’s Guernica.
Since so often one has assured the Minotaur it is the alter ego of Picasso, the personage who reflects his different states of mind in a period specially complicated of his existence, due to the vicissitudes of his private life.

Disciples and influences
Many american artists of the 20th century designated pablo Picasso as a central figure of the modern movement. They learn and copy his pictures to reflect his art: absorpion, critique or rejection. A lot of them are his disciples in this moment. You can confuse their differents pictures because these are very similar.
Picasso and American Art is a groundbreaking publication. There are diverse group of his contemporaries and successors, including: Max Weber, Stuart Davis, Arshile Gorky, John Graham, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, David Smith, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jasper Johns.
The influence of the 20th century was named a ' black art ' in Picasso was not direct, but across other artists and of the whole art of the Antiquity.
Here we can see a Pollack's picture. It's similar to Picasso's picture because he use the same art.
This picture is from Picasso and American Art.

In 1897 his realism became tinged with Symbolist influence, in a series of landscape paintings rendered in non naturalistic violet and green tones. What some call his Modernist period (1899–1900) followed. His exposure to the work of Rossetti, Steinlen, Toulouse-Lautrec and Edward Munch, combined with his admiration for favorite old masters such as El Greco, led Picasso to a personal version of modernism in his works of this period.
When they're young the artists demonstrate than they have got tallent, it's very difficult to stand out because the world of art is sophisticated and prestigious. In this period Picasso learned to paint, the maxim influence during that time is realism and he painted beautiful realist portraits.
Disciples
This picture is from Edouard Pignon, other disciple from Picasso, Pignon was very influded from Picasso and his Cubism, like we can see in this picture. Edouard has a lot of more picturesand is more recognised than Palau Ferré.

·-Picasso in France (Sheila)
In France, Picasso embarked in his blue period. Blue period is called because the majority of the colors in the paintings are blue. In this period Picasso's paintings show the desperation, the loneliness and the tragedy.
Picasso was painting in blue because he was sad for the suicide of his friend Carlos Casagemas in 1901. They were two good friends; they were worked together in France. Picasso started painting in cold, melancholy colors, and blues. The death of his friend gave place to the blue period. The pictures of this epoch show Picasso's pity for the poor and destroyed persons. The blue color seemed to be to him adapted to express his feelings of a sorrow and of pain. This is the first picture by Picasso In his blue period.
