Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) was born in Malaga in the south of Spain on 25th October 1881.In 1885 the Ruiz Picasso family moved to Barcelona, where arguably the world’s greatest painter spent his formative years and began his professional career as an artist. Pablo Picasso’s time in Barcelona is well documented and most of the places where Picasso lived, studied and hung out with friends from 1895 to 1904 in Barcelona are known. Picasso's life in Barcelona was very much in the medieval part of Barcelona, called Ciutat Vella and down around the Barcelona harbour and Port Vell. The Picasso family first lived for a few months on street Passeig Isabel II, 4. They then moved to the nearby street Carrer de la Reina Cristina 3, which is where they lived when Picasso was an art student at the La Llotja School of Fine Arts for two years. Artist Joan Miró later studied at the same school. Article continues under ads
