Question

Pablo Picasso was born in Spain in 1881. His father was a painter and art teacher who gave his son the first lesson in drawing. Picasso won a prize ― " Science and Charity”for his first important painting when he was only fifteen. He studied in several cities in Spain. But there was no one to teach him all that he wanted to know. When he was nineteen, he visited Paris.

Paris was then the center of the world for artists. Everything that was new and exciting in the world of painting seemed to happen there. When he was twenty-three，Picasso moved there to live and lived in France for the rest of his life.

When he died in 1973, he was ninety-two years old.
