             In 1893, Pablo had his first debut as an artist under his father's guidance, a teacher at the Da Guarda Art School in La Coruna. Pablo's Father was appointed to La Lonja Academy in Barcelona in 1895 and so Pablo moved. The following year saw Pablo becoming a pupil at the academy after passing his exams with top marks. He became a member of the bohemian group and exhibited his work in the Café Els Quatre Gats. This was a crucial point in his early artistic development.

The following year a magazine called Joventut published some of his drawings and he decided visit Paris for the first time. Pablo became very attached to Paris and so decided to settle there from 1904 - 1947, when he decided to relocate to the South of France.
             Pablo's Father died in 1913 and two years later he meets his future wife Olga Koklova, he married her the following year. His son Paul was born in 1921 but Picasso soon became bored of his life with Olga and in 1932, his work showed a new woman in his life, Marie - Therese Walter.
