He was born in Spain② and at the age of③ ten was already an excellent④ artist. He had his first exhibition⑤ at the age of 16. Picasso studied art in Spain, but moved to⑥ France, in his early twenties⑦. From 1902 to 1904 he painted a series of⑧ pictures where the main colour was blue⑨. These pictures showed poor, unhappy people and are known as⑩ Picasso’s “blue period”. From 1904 to 1906 Picasso painted much happier pictures in the colour pink. This period was known as Picasso’s “pink period”. With another Spanish artist called George Braque⑪ ， Picasso then started an important new artistic movement⑫ called Cubism. Picasso’s first Cubist paintings were all painted in brown and grey⑬. People agree that Picasso’s greatest Cubist painting is Guernica, which was painted in Madrid in 1937. Guernica is the name of a town that was destroyed⑭ during the 1930s⑮ war in Spain. In this painting, Picasso showed his feelings about what had happened to the town⑯.①generally adv.一般地，普遍地②Spain n．西班牙③at the age of 在……岁时④excellent adj.极好的，优秀的⑤exhibition/ eksIˌ’bI n/ʃn.展览⑥move to 搬到⑦in one’s early twenties 在某人 20 岁出头的时候⑧a series of 一系列的⑨where 引导限制性定语从句。⑩be known as 被称为⑪called George Braque 为过去分词短语作后置定语。⑫artistic movement 艺术流派⑬in brown and grey 用褐色和灰色⑭destroy/dI’str I/ɔvt.破坏；毁坏⑮during the 1930s 在 20 世纪 30 年代⑯happen to 发生在……(身上)，其中 to 是介词。happen to do sth.碰巧做某事what 引导...
