Pablo Picasso Shirt

About This Shirt

Pablo Picasso once said, "My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso." Turning the art world on its ear with his cubist designs, Pablo Picasso became an artist that will live forever through his iconic and important artwork. Paintings like "Dora Maar au Chat" display his talent for challenging the idea of the traditional portrait, while his famous painting, "Guernica," not only display his eye-catching cubist flare but also represents a strong emotional reaction to events of the Spanish Civil War. He challenged the art world and he challenged society with the amount of emotion, intellect, and passion he poured onto a canvas. He poured his heart into art through the Blue Period, the Rose Period, the African Period, Cubism, and Synthetic Cubism as he constantly challenged himself to create new works of powerful art through different means of expression. The Windy City is blessed with the "Chicago Picasso," a fifty foot tall statue created by Pablo Picasso that stands proudly in Daley Plaza. The Chicago Art Institute also proudly displays "The Old Guitarist," the most famous painting from Picasso's Blue Period and unlocked the secrets of the original painting of a woman holding a child just beneath the finished design. Pablo Picasso is the most important artist to rise to fame since Vincent Van Gogh. Celebrate this cubist genius with this custom tee shirt exclusively from Strange Cargo and be sure to wear it as you study his works in your favorite museum.
