Where did Picasso's work go after he died?
- Málaga. When Picasso was 9 years old, his father, José Ruiz y Blasco, lost his job as an art teacher, and his family left Málaga despite desires to stay in the port city on the Costa del Sol.
- A Coruña. When the Picassos left Málaga, they resettled in A Coruña. Here, where Pablo lived from age 10 to 14, the family continued to experience hardship.
- Barcelona. In 1895, the Picasso family moved to Barcelona. This is where Pablo truly began to come into his own as an artist. He easily and quickly embraced Catalan culture, identifying with it so much that he considered himself not just a Spaniard, but a Catalan, Falgàs says.
- Madrid. According to Falgàs, Picasso didn’t spend all that much time in Madrid—only about eight or nine months between 1897 and 1898, while he was studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, and another four months in 1901 while he illustrated the defunct magazine Arte Joven.
José Ruiz Blasco (1838-1913) was Picasso's father, teacher and mentor and also the painter's favourite model during the artist's formative years. The 19th-century figure of that tall, blond, elegant man from Malaga with a long beard had very little to do with the physique of Picasso, who looked more like his mother Maria, petite and brunette.
José Ruiz Blasco, who came from a better-placed family and 17 years older than María, had previously gone out with the girl's cousin, but eventually she would be the chosen one. María Picasso, always busy with household chores, was the emotional and practical pillar of the family.
José Ruiz y Blasco, Picasso's father, was a professor of painting who felt he had failed in his own attempts to become a renowned artist. Picasso's father "had a twofold problem: the inclination to be an artist but not the gifts, and the temperament of a gentleman of leisure but not the means."
Picasso began to develop his artistic skills from an early age. His first art teacher was his father, José Ruiz y Blasco, whose nickname was "Pepe". He worked as a teacher at the Malaga School of Fine Arts and also as curator at the city's municipal museum.
