Born in Malaga, Picasso and his family moved to Barcelona in 1895, when he was almost fourteen years of age, and where he would live until 1904. These nine years were the years of his academic training, his adolescence and the formation of his character. His famous painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, is named not for the city in Provence, France where he later lived but for a street in Barcelona. Based on a recent visit to the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, this talk will consider his early work, and how this influenced his later art.
