Task 1.Read the text and choose the correct answer (True/False/Not stated) Pablo Picasso, painter (1881-1973)
Pablo Picasso is a very famous painter. He was born in Malaga, Spain, in 1881, but he lived most of his life in Paris, France.
In 1902 he started painting the poor people he met on the streets, so his paintings were very sad and dark. This period in his work is called the blue period (1901-1904). In 1904 he started his pink period, in which he painted the world of the circus, clowns, acrobats and musicians. The paintings from that period are very happy and full of bright colours.
In 1909 he worked with another artist, Georges Braque. Together they painted abstract pictures. In abstract pictures you only see lines and colours, and it is very difficult to understand what exactly you are looking at.
