4. Read the article and choose the correct answer. Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain, in 1881, but lived most of his life in Paris, France. In 1902 he started painting poor people he met on the streets; his paintings were sad and dark. This period is called the blue period (1901–04). In 1904 he started his pink period, in which he painted the world of the circus: clowns, acrobats and musicians. These paintings are happy and full of pink colours. In 1909 he worked with another artist, Georges Braque. Together they painted abstract pictures. In an abstract picture you only see lines and colours, and it is difficult to understand what exactly you are looking at. Picasso’s most famous painting is Guernica, which he painted during the Civil War in Spain, in 1937. It is a dark, sad and abstract picture about the war. 1) Picasso lived most of his life in Spain. A True B False C Doesn’t say. 2) Picasso’s blue period paintings are not very happy. A True B False C Doesn’t say. 3) Picasso met a lot of clowns and acrobats. A True B False C Doesn’t say. 4) George Braque never painted abstract pictures. A True B False C Doesn’t say. 5) Guernica is in a museum in Spain. A True B False C Doesn’t say.
