Picasso in Barcelona

The Picasso family moved to Barcelona when Pablo was only 14 years old. His father taught at the local Academy of Arts, where he began to study the future genius. The Picasso family lived next door, and here in the now famous Gothic Quarter, Pablo rented his first workshops in the fold with friends. Here he participated in the famous debates in the cafe "4 cats", and in exhibitions held in local art galleries. It was in Barcelona that Picasso spent his youth and here his first known paintings were painted. At the age of 23, Pablo finally leaves for Paris, where the French stage of his life begins.
