It is estimated that the beginning of the modern period in history was the French Revolution (1789). The artists, who were unsatisfied with what they see, are searching for designing and realizing through those forms which they want to see and feel. Now it is nearly impossible for the artists to isolate themselves from the outside life. In this way they find themselves within ambiguities and chaos. The 20th century artists adapt themselves to the changing world. The most characteristic feature of the art life of Picasso, who is the most productive painters of all times, their lively and energetic nature. The art life of Picasso started with paintings and continued with graphic art, ceramics and sculpture. His works had considerable effects all over the world. After his academic education, he synthesized his distinguished classic skills with Spanish style and enriched his skills through the blue and pink periods. He became the initiator and the most important figure of an art movement which challenged the past century. This movement, which is nearly equated with his name, is cubism. In this movement form generation, which is at odds with perspectives, becomes legible in geometric shapes and straight contours have no depth. He was a fan of Paul Cézanne and in his letters, written to Cézanne’s friend, Emil Bernard, he stated that nature should be seen in the forms of cylinder, cube and cone. These statements would later be called as Cubism. Picasso improved his interest on this interpretation and he transformed his paintings’ forms into geometric forms. Picasso continued his art life through these new dimensions. Without ever stopping he searched for the concept of reality belonging to him. He transformed the differences into a characteristic language, and through his new interpretations he totally changed the traditional approach to painting and passed a long way for reaching Cubism.
