He began by drawing the legs of a pigeon, just as his father told him, and ended up becoming one of the greatest painters of the 20th century. It’s Picasso’s story‘father’ of cubism and an expert in reinventing himself every day.
50 years after his deathPablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso, as he was named on his birth certificate, is still very present.
The artist from Malaga found in Barcelona a modern city in which to settle. And it was there that ‘Las Demoiselles d’Avignon’ were born, a group of prostitutes who had nothing to do with the French citybut with one of the brothels in the Gothic Quarter.
Picasso himself wanted to call it ‘The brothel of Avignon’, but the commotion that the work itself generated excluded the word brothel; brothels that the painter used to frequent and that 50 years later they raise dust around his figure, because there are those who call him a misogynist and call to cancel it.
Estrella de Diego defines herself as a teacher who, in the 21st century, grapples with his students about whether it is legitimate to demonize him. As he explains, his students believe that “this authoritarian gentleman should be banished to the warehouses,” but he warns: “We start to cancel and we know where we start, but not where we end.”
Half a century after his death, the artist, the name Pablo Diego José up to Picasso, began as he ended: on everyone’s lips.
