From January until October 19, 1902, the day he returned to Paris, Picasso lived in Barcelona. He frequented the same avant-garde environments of earlier times. From the artistic point of view, at that time he was already fully immersed in his first style, his own and personal, known as the blue period.[1] He was also a painter in his own time.

Alexandre Cirici i Pellicer finds certain coincidences between these Picassian figures and the figures in the murals of Catalan Romanesque art. It seems that on one occasion, contemplating the frescoes of Santa Maria de Tahull, Picasso said: «Look, this is what I have done.»[1] The artist was also a painter.

Wanting to present the object of interest in his paintings in the fullness of its possible perspectives, Pablo Picasso began to combine several types of the same object in the picture, representing different points of view on it.

The artist tried to show things of the real world and people not only in the way the eye sees them, but also in the forms accessible to the eye and the mind’s reason. He began to divide his living and inanimate models into fragments resembling geometric figures, tearing them, like a piece of paper, into jagged pieces, and then spontaneously connecting these angular «details».

In the order, which, in his opinion, to a greater extent expressed his own essence of the image. Perspective disappeared, the palette tended to be monochromatic and, although the original goal of Cubism was more precise and convincing than with traditional techniques to reproduce the content and form of an object, the images in Picasso’s paintings sometimes became an incomprehensible mixture of various geometric elements.

On Tuesday, American painter Jean-Michel Basquiat’s canvas «In This Case» sold for $93.1 million at Christie’s during the first of the big sales of the boreal spring, one of the two most important gatherings worldwide.

Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti is the next artist behind on the list of the most sought-after artists in the auction world. Three of his works have exceeded $100 million at auction. Two works by Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani also surpassed the magical figure.
