The stories are generally closely related to the production and life of primitive humans. They were eager to understand nature, so they used themselves as a basis to imagine that everything in the world was like humans, with life and will. The following is the inspirational story of the painter Picasso that I carefully compiled. I hope it will be helpful to you! The inspirational story of the painter Picasso Part 1
A painter who is good at subtraction. He is Picasso.
Picasso loved painting cows throughout his life. When he was young, the cows he painted were already lifelike and vivid on the paper. Once, Picasso was painting cows in the field, and a cow was also grazing at the head of the field. The cow caught a glimpse of the cow in the painting, his eyes widened, and after staring for a moment, he ran away. From then on, Picasso was called a great man. Later, the cows painted by Picasso became more and more concise, with prominent muscles and bones and exquisite brushwork. In his old age, Picasso only painted a few cows, with all the fur and flesh removed, leaving only a skeleton.
It is these cows with only skeletons that became Picasso’s pinnacle work. Picasso said that his success came from subtraction. There is an entrepreneur who is also good at subtraction. He is Steve Jobs.
In 1997, when Jobs returned to Apple after an absence of 12 years, Apple was in a serious crisis. Jobs called a meeting of senior executives and asked, "Tell me what's wrong with this place?" Before anyone could answer, he suddenly shouted, "The problem lies in the products. Apple has too many products." He believes that Apple's product line is too long and its energy is too scattered, which leads to its inability to produce a high-quality product. As a result, Jobs resolutely cut off most of Apple's projects, including the Newton handheld computer, which made Apple's last brilliant success. After subtracting these projects, Apple focused on making mobile phones, defeating its opponents one after another, and shaping its current industry leader position.
It is focusing on one area that has made Apple what it is today. Jobs also said that his success came from subtraction.
There is a president who is also good at subtraction. He is Reagan.
When Reagan took office, the United States was in the midst of an economic crisis. Production was stagnant, prices were rising, and fiscal revenue was plummeting. It could be described as experiencing internal and external difficulties. No one expected that Reagan's first move was to cut taxes, his second move was to reduce government approval projects, and his third move was to reduce government functions. At a time when it seemed necessary to use addition to strengthen management, Reagan used subtraction to stimulate market vitality. Since then, the U.S. economy has entered a new round of take-off.
It is precisely by taking less care of some things that should not be taken care of that the United States has emerged from the crisis. Again, Reagan's success came from subtraction.
If life is about addition, the hurried pace will be difficult to stop. In the end, it will only make the body tired and tired, and the mind will bear a heavy burden. If life is about subtraction, slow down your pace, relax your nerves, remove what is holding you back, put down the pressure, and pour out the worries in your heart, success will be found in the moment you look back. Therefore, successful people often use subtraction. Inspirational Story of the Painter Picasso Part 2
Picasso was born in 1881 and died in 1973. As a painter, he was unique in the 20th century with his diverse painting styles and abundant paintings.
In 1904, when he was only in his early twenties, he came to Paris, the capital of art, alone. When he was young, his hair was uneven and his hair was shiny. He was serious, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth were more of a smile. His eyes are full of life juice. He is still a green bud, weathered by wind and rain, ready to go, curious about the world and confident in life.
By 1917, when Picasso was already in his thirties, he had already begun to explore Cubism and achieved some success, holding one or two exhibitions. He was sitting upright in a curtained room, well-dressed, with his hair neatly combed and neatly combed. His trademark big shiny nose sits in the center of his face, symbolizing his unsuccessful attempts to integrate into society. Everyone needs to adjust and adapt in order to live in harmony with society, and geniuses like Picasso are no exception.
His lips were softer and more passionate because of love, and his mouth was slightly open. He seemed to have the urge to express, but also seemed to be wavering - because he had expectations for the future, and the future was uncertain. More than ten years ago, he would not waver, because any possibility was the future and it did not matter. His eyes were like a pool of water covered with green shade, shaking slightly in panic, thinking, exploring, and waiting for comfort and encouragement.
The last portrait was taken in his later years, probably in the 1950s. He was old, bald, with deep wrinkles on his forehead and cheeks, but he had never been more attractive. His eyes were sunken deeper, but focused intensely, looking straight into the heart. He has seen too much. The corners of his mouth were a little drier than those in his prime, but he pursed them firmly. He has expressed too much. Nowadays, he does not speak easily because he is too familiar with society, and when he speaks, it is a wise saying. Even his big nose has been miraculously improved by his distinctive eyes and the abrupt outline of his mouth. His face is harmonious.
What he wanted to do has been done, and his heart is at peace. He even regained his childhood naughtiness. He said: "You expect me to tell you what art is. If I know, I will take it for myself."
——This is like every ordinary person The story of life. Be confident and happy when you are young, compromise and achieve success in middle age, and be able to do whatever you want in your old age. This is the law of life summarized by Confucius in the East thousands of years ago. Even for Picasso, it is just such a life trajectory. Thinking about it makes people feel discouraged, but they can't help but stretch themselves in the sunshine. No matter how they live, it is good and all is good.

If Picasso is compared to a tireless carriage, then women are the wheels on this carriage. It is the wheels that allow him to run wildly and always keep up with the trend. the front. Without this wheel, he would probably only sigh in pain, helplessness and anxiety.
In 1914, the dark clouds of World War I enveloped the whole of Europe. When the war threatened the survival of mankind, all kinds of fashionable art that was far away from reality lost their vitality.
In December 1915, on the recommendation of the poet and film director Cocteau, Picasso joined the Diaghilev Ballet Troupe and designed sets, costumes and props for them. Picasso toured with this group in cities such as Rome, Naples, and Florence, and observed the masterpieces of art masters there, which made him naturally turn to realism. During the performance, Picasso met the troupe's female dancer Olga Kerkolova, a beautiful Russian girl with an aristocratic and classical beauty. Olga's Russian orthodox style Picasso was fascinated by the exotic and mysterious style, which was consistent with his pursuit of classic art at that time. In December 1918, they became legally married, which added joy and romanticism to Picasso's life. During this period, he used Olga as a model to create a large number of vibrant and poetic neoclassical works "The Balcony", "Female Student", "Oliga Sitting on an Easy Chair", "Seated Woman" "wait. In these works, classicism, realism and cubism were cleverly blended together, becoming the outstanding features of Picasso's period. "Mother and Son" he created is a masterpiece after Olga gave birth to Paul for him. The mother in the picture is solemn, plump and energetic, full of feminine charm, containing youthful vitality and creative spirit, as well as a beautiful vision for the future. The children in the painting are lively and cute, full of vitality and a source of hope and strength. The whole picture gives people a feeling of tranquility, peace and love.
The war finally ended in 1918, but the trauma caused by the war is difficult to heal. People are depressed and pessimistic, have lost confidence in everything, and even their faith is in crisis. At this time, decadentism and Freud's psychoanalytic theory were popular in Europe and the United States, giving rise to various schools: absurdism, stream of consciousness, unconsciousness, existentialism, etc. They deny reason, deny tradition, deny life, and even deny everyone. Picasso is just the opposite. He is not negative and pessimistic because of the destruction of the world and the beautiful life of mankind by war, but is more persistent in seeking hope and strength in life. .
Unfortunately, there was a rift in his relationship with Olga. Olga's aristocratic lady's lifestyle and aesthetic taste made her increasingly dissatisfied with Picasso's attitude towards life and artistic taste. She even didn't understand Picasso's increasingly strong creative enthusiasm and endless artistic pursuit. Olga felt that she was not in Picasso's world, which made her very upset. She started making a fuss, demanding that Picasso pay attention to her alone.
Oliga's rage left Picasso helpless. The "Three Dancing Girls" painted at this time best expresses his sense of destruction. The three dismembered women on the screen are filled with nightmare-like pain, and they are hysterically baring their teeth and claws.
The painful Picasso wandered around like a wandering ghost all day long, even walking on the street in the cold night. On the afternoon of January 8, 1927, the wind was biting, and Picasso was walking near the Lafayette Museum of Art as usual. His mind went blank, and he might have stayed like this all afternoon if a blonde hadn't walked out of the subway station.
This girl with a classical Greek nose and a pair of blue-grey eyes is Marie Therese. Her image seems to have been imprinted on Picasso's mind. He boldly walked over, grabbed Thérèse's arm and said, "I am Picasso, and you and I will do some great things together!"
Thérèse was only 17 years old at the time and was still a child. Student, how does she know anything about Picasso? When she told her mother about the stranger's abruptness and rudeness, her mother was greatly honored. In this way, Thérèse began dating Picasso. On Thérèse's 18th birthday, she became his everlasting lover. She was docile and willing to accept all Picasso's will. She was only his personal possession. Thanks to this wheel, Picasso drove his art car faster and more joyfully. Inspirational Story of the Painter Picasso Part 4
After Picasso became famous, the number of people imitating his paintings increased day by day, making it difficult to tell the authenticity from the fake, which made people quite worried.
One day, a businessman who specialized in selling art saw Picasso's mural "Harmony". He was very puzzled by what the picture showed. In order to fully understand Picasso's painting style and prevent him from being fooled, he specially brought another painting signed with Picasso's name to seek advice from Picasso.
The businessman asked Picasso straight to the point: "Why is the fish in the birdcage and the bird in the fish tank in your mural "Harmony"?"
Picasso replied without hesitation. : "In harmony everything is possible."
At this time, the businessman took out the painting and wanted to confirm whether it was an authentic work by Picasso. Picasso glanced at the painting and said contemptuously: "Fake!"
Through this meeting, the businessman seemed to understand the mystery of Picasso's paintings, so not long after the incident, the businessman excitedly I brought a Picasso painting to Picasso and asked him if the painting was true or false. Picasso replied without even looking at it: "Fake!"
"But, sir," the businessman shouted anxiously, "you painted this painting yourself not long ago, and I was there at the time! "
Picasso smiled and shrugged, and said: "I sometimes paint fakes myself." Inspirational Stories of Painter Picasso 5
Once a painter showed Picasso a painting. Those are some sketches. Picasso began to look at them one by one, looking at them up close and at a distance, putting on glasses to see details when necessary. It was as if he had never seen a sketch before. His eyes never left them. He ignored everything and was completely immersed in what he was looking at. Such extraordinary curiosity and ability to concentrate surprised everyone who saw him.
Picasso said: "People usually cannot concentrate, so they miss a lot of things. Concentration is the reason why Cézanne became Cézanne. When Cézanne was in front of a tree, he He will look at the thing in front of him very intently. He stares at it like a hunter staring at his prey... This is usually the case for a painter. "Picasso can say this about Cézanne because he also knows how to concentrate. .
One day a young man came to Picasso and brought a Cezanne painting and asked Picasso to identify it. Picasso looked at the painting carefully and told him that it was a good landscape painting, but it was not an authentic work by Cézanne. The young man insisted that this painting was obtained from Cezanne's studio, so it could not be authentic. Picasso became angry: "You can be right a thousand times, and you can also provide me with a thousand pieces of evidence, but this is still not the authentic work of Cézanne."
After the young man left, Picasso was still there Nagging about this: "As if I don't know who Cézanne is! He's mine, my only master! Don't you know I've seen his paintings? I've spent years studying them. Cézanne! He's so important to us He is a father-like figure, he is our protector-like figure."
Picasso's careful viewing of Cézanne's works made him familiar with his works to this extent: an American woman living in Paris. The writer Stein has always regretted that when she and her brother separated, a still life of apples by Cézanne was not left behind. Picasso heard this and said to her: "Don't be sorry, I'll draw one for you." On Christmas Day in 1914, Picasso brought her a still life painting, which was an exact copy of Cézanne's work. Picasso would never forget any painting he had seen because he was incredibly focused. Inspirational Story of the Painter Picasso 6
One day, one of Picasso's students couldn't help but ask him: "Teacher, there are many fake paintings of yours on the market, which seriously affects your reputation. Why don't you stop them?"
Picasso smiled slightly and said: "Why should we stop it? The people who paint fake paintings are either poor painters with high painting skills, or old friends who are very familiar with my painting style. The former is very talented. But life is not easy, so we should give them tolerance and help, so that they can succeed in the future; and if it is the latter, they should not care about it, because Spaniards cannot embarrass their friends! ”
Then, Picasso continued, besides, the experts who identify the authenticity also need to eat. If I stop the people who make fake paintings, then they will have nothing to eat. "Because of me, more people can eat. Why not? ”
Because Picasso does not pursue forgers, his fake paintings are increasing day by day, and some fake paintings are even difficult for him to distinguish. One day, an art dealer came to Picasso with a painting signed with Picasso's name and asked if it was his authentic work. Picasso took a brief look and said: "Fake!"
Soon after, the art dealer excitedly brought another painting and asked Picasso to identify the authenticity. This time Picasso didn't even look at it. , and said, fake! The art dealer became anxious when he heard this, and he shouted loudly: "You painted this painting yourself not long ago, and I was there at the time!" After hearing this, Picasso was embarrassed for a while, and then shrugged. He shrugged and said with a smile: "When my inspiration is not there and I am in a bad mood, I sometimes draw 'fake' pictures myself!"
Can an artist truly be called a "virtue and artistry"? Not only should we look at his artistic attainments, but also his moral realm. Picasso is undoubtedly an artistic and virtuous person. Inspirational Story of the Painter Picasso Part 7
One day, a little country girl came to Mr. Picasso’s house and said that she wanted to learn painting from Mr. Picasso.
Mr. Picasso looked at the little country girl and said, "Since you came to the city from the country, would you go to the kitchen and cook for me? I'm just looking for a cook." Meaning. Yes, he doesn't want to teach girls to draw.
The little country girl went to the kitchen to work as a cook. Every day, after the little country girl finished cooking, she would not let anyone else give it to Mr. Picasso, but she would give it to him herself. Every time she served food, she would wait for Mr. Picasso to finish the meal before taking the bowl away. In this way, she can look at Mr. Picasso's paintings for a while longer each time. After reading it, I will keep it in my mind. When I have free time, I will draw secretly in the kitchen.
Many years have passed, and the little country girl has become an old cook. One day, the old cook was cooking. She looked up into the yard and saw a thief reaching out to steal something in the yard. The old cook was about to shout, but she thought she couldn't shout. Mr. Picasso was painting in the studio. When he is painting, others cannot disturb him.
So, the old cook picked up a fork, dipped it in the black sauce, drew the image of the thief on her white apron, and prepared to hand it over to the police station to catch the thief.
At the same time, Mr. Picasso also discovered the thief in the yard in the studio. He was drawing a very proud picture in his hand. He didn't want to interrupt his thoughts, so he used a brush to draw the image of the thief on the paper on one side. Prepare to hand it over to the police station, and let the police catch the thief.
The police station received the portrait and the thief was quickly caught.
The police chief took the thief to Mr. Picasso’s house and said, “Mr. Picasso, thank you for drawing the image of the thief in time. However, I have to tell Mr. Picasso that you will assist us in our work in the future. At the same time, please don't joke," the police chief said, taking out two paintings and asking Mr. Picasso. "Did you draw these two paintings? Based on the painting sent by the housekeeper, we arrested 5 similar young people in one case. They all said they were wronged. After further examination, it was indeed not them who committed the crime. We apologized repeatedly. Later, we caught the real thief based on the image of the thief painted on the apron sent by your cook."
Mr. Picasso quickly took it. When he looked at the cloth painting, he couldn't help but be shocked. He couldn't believe it was painted by his cook.
Mr. Picasso took the painting to the kitchen and looked at the old cook who was cooking: "Did you paint this, Jie Ni?"
The cook didn't panic. He said hurriedly: "Mr. Picasso, I've been watching you paint for more than 30 years..."
This cook is the world-famous Spanish female painter Mance Genie. Inspirational Story of the Painter Picasso Chapter 8
When Picasso was 18 years old, he created his first copper engraving. This painting depicts a heroic bullfighter. However, he did not expect that the real image would inevitably shift left and right during printing. Therefore, the locals were surprised when they saw a bullfighter holding a spear in his left hand.
Picasso was so unhappy about his mistake that he almost destroyed the copper plate. Fortunately, he came up with the idea and called the copper plate depiction "Left-Handed", which succeeded.
Picasso’s secret love affair Picasso had a secret love affair from 1915 to 1916. The woman he fell in love with was named Gabrielle. Born in Paris in 1888, she was 27 years old when she met Picasso.
Picasso’s never-before-exhibited drawings and watercolors of Gabriel include a love quote: “I pray to the merciful God that you will marry me,” said Richardson, a friend of Picasso’s. , this may have been the first time Picasso seriously considered marriage.
This love affair is of great historical significance because it reveals a blank segment in Picasso’s married life and also reveals his passion for falling under the skirt of a beautiful woman. This love affair began in the autumn of 1915. Picasso should have been empty and lonely at that time, because lung disease was taking away his then mistress, the frail and beautiful Eva.
The reason why Picasso kept his love affair secret may be that the American-born engraver and poet Lespinasse was also pursuing Gabriel at the time. Later, the woman finally married Lespinas. Inspirational Story of the Painter Picasso Part 9
Picasso was the most influential painting master in the world when he was a child. His painting methods and styles changed repeatedly throughout his life. Early paintings focused on expressionist themes; later he turned to primitive art and simplified images. From 1915 to 1920, the painting style once again turned to realism. In 1930, the style changed again, obviously moving closer to the surrealist style. Picasso made a large number of sculptures and pottery in his late childhood, and achieved certain achievements.
Picasso was an epoch-making artist when he was a child, and his works had a profound impact on modern Western art. In particular, he made a profound contribution to the art history of the 20th century, and has been called "a rare genius in the history of human art."
American educator Claudia said: "Aside from talent, the most important thing for a child's artistic ability is to be 'discovered' by someone. In a sense, discovery is the most important thing . It is indeed sad that many children with great artistic talent are buried in life. But unfortunately, many parents do not realize this. They just think that they are still children. He will know too much, or he has not learned yet."
What Claudia said is the relationship between Bole and Chollima, that is, Chollima still needs Bole to discover. Hall. Jose is a bole because he discovered Picasso's thousand-mile horse when he was a child. Hall. Jose is a painter in a small town in Spain. When Jose could not speak, he discovered that his son could express himself through painting.
One day, Picasso, who was just a toddler, drew a spiral thing. His family didn’t know what he drew. Jose was surprised to see that the little guy was drawing fried pies sold at a hot food stand.
Tang. Jose believed that his son had a talent for painting, and he decided to train his son to be a painter. He set aside a special house for his son, and the walls were covered with children's paintings he drew. The contents of these paintings were daily necessities. Although the lines were too simple, he made reasonable deformations to induce Picasso's imagination and spatial deformation ability as a child. Hall. Jose often brought his son into the room to look at these paintings and tell him how they were painted.
When Picasso was four years old, Jose began to teach him paper cutting. With the opening and closing of the scissors, Picasso was completely fascinated as a child. He cut the flat pieces of paper into countless roosters and puppies... Under Jose's deliberate training, Picasso was fascinated as a child. painting. He is often able to express the things around him with his own understanding. Gradually, some neighbors also called him a "little genius."
Although Picasso was a painting genius when he was a child, he was not a good student. Going to school was simply torture for him. During lectures, he would either fantasize endlessly or concentrate on watching the scenery outside the window. And he never seemed interested in boring arithmetic.
When Picasso was a child, he said helplessly to his father: "I only know that one plus one equals two, and two plus one equals two. I didn't think about it at all. It's not that I don't work hard, I try hard to concentrate. But I still can't do it." For this reason, he became the target of teasing by his classmates. Those boring friends liked to come to Picasso when he was a child and tease him: "When Picasso was a child, what was two plus one?" Then he laughed looking at Suo's dazed look.
In this way, Picasso was also a hopeless child with low intelligence in the eyes of his teacher when he was a child. He often vividly described Picasso's "dementia" symptoms as a child in front of Picasso's father when he was a child. After hearing this, her mother felt ashamed and angry, feeling that Picasso had embarrassed her when she was a child and made her shameless to see others.
The neighbors no longer praised Picasso's painting talent as a child, but privately commented: "Look at that stupid look. He can only draw a few paintings and still make a living." At that time, almost Everyone thinks: Picasso was a fool when he was a child. In the face of gossip and ridicule, Picasso's father still firmly believed that although his son was not good at reading, he was extremely talented in painting.
Tang. Jose can truly understand and appreciate his children. He said to Picasso when he was a child: "Not being able to do math does not mean you have no ability. You are a painting genius. You can paint." When Picasso was a child, he looked at his father's resolute face and regained some confidence. Sure enough, Picasso always seemed to be able to draw all kinds of things effortlessly when he was a child.
In November 1890, when Picasso was only six years old, he painted "Hercules Holding a Big Stick". On the canvas, Hercules looks heroic and powerful, with an extraordinary image. People were amazed and amazed at Picasso's talent for painting as a child.
Appreciating and trusting your children does not mean tolerating their shortcomings and mistakes, nor does it blindly dote on them, but rather to guide and encourage them. If a child has almost innate shortcomings, and the parents ignore the actual situation and treat the child with evil words and cynicism, this will undoubtedly cause hard-to-heal psychological damage to the child. The wound has become a lingering shadow in the child's heart forever.
A child who does not study well may be laughed at and ridiculed by the whole world. However, as a parent, you must not do this and think that only parents can give their children confidence and courage, encourage them, and let them learn. He dares to face up to his own weaknesses, correct his shortcomings, give full play to his strengths, treat himself actively and healthily, and study and live with confidence. Inspirational Story of Painter Picasso Part 10
Picasso was very talented in art since he was a child. He could make lifelike paper-cuts and created many amazing paintings. The neighbors all marveled at him and called him a genius. However, this "genius" was not an excellent student. Classes were simply torture for him. During classes, he would either fantasize endlessly or look at the big trees and birds outside the window. Picasso became the target of teasing by his classmates. They liked to run to his desk and tease him: "Picasso, what is two plus one?" and then laughed at Picasso's dazed look.
Even the teacher often vividly described Picasso’s “dementia” in front of Picasso’s parents. Picasso’s mother felt shameless after hearing this. Almost everyone agrees: Picasso is a fool. Only Picasso's father still firmly believed that although his son was not good at reading, he was talented in painting. He has a true understanding and appreciation of children. He said to his son: "Not being able to do arithmetic does not mean that you are useless. You are still a painting genius." Little Picasso looked at his father's resolute face and regained some confidence. Sure enough, Picasso always seems to be able to draw brilliant pictures effortlessly, and gradually forgets his "incompetence" in homework
As a bad student, solitary confinement in school has become a common occurrence for Picasso. There were only benches and empty walls in the room, but Picasso was very happy. Because he can bring a stack of paper and draw freely there. With his father's support, Picasso was immersed in the world of imagination every day. Although his homework was not good, he found happiness in the world of painting.
