About the Artist, Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), the influential 20th-century artist from Spain, revolutionized modern art through his visionary creativity and groundbreaking contributions. From his early prodigious talent to his co-founding of Cubism, Picasso's diverse body of work, including paintings, sculptures, and ceramics, continues to inspire artists worldwide.

Born on October 25, 1881, in Málaga, Spain, Picasso displayed remarkable artistic abilities from a young age. His artistic journey led him to experiment with various styles and techniques, leaving an indelible mark on the art world. Picasso's artistic career can be divided into distinct periods, each characterized by its own unique style and thematic focus. Notably, his Blue Period, marked by melancholic and somber tones, reflected his deep empathy for human suffering. Subsequently, the Rose Period brought a shift towards brighter colors and more optimistic subjects.

However, it was with the advent of Cubism that Picasso's revolutionary artistic vision reached its zenith. Alongside Georges Braque, he co-founded this groundbreaking movement, which shattered traditional notions of representation. Through fragmented forms and multiple perspectives, Picasso challenged the boundaries of art and delved into the abstract realm. This period marked a turning point in the history of art, solidifying Picasso's status as a visionary and innovator. His unparalleled creativity and tireless experimentation continue to inspire generations of artists, cementing his legacy as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

About The Unemployed Philosopher's Guild

The origins of the Unemployed Philosophers Guild are shrouded in mystery. Some accounts trace the Guild's birth to Athens in the latter half of the 4th century BCE. Allegedly, several lesser philosophers grew weary of the endless Socratic dialogue endemic in their trade and turned to crafting household implements and playthings. (Hence the assertions that Socrates quaffed his hemlock poison from a Guild-designed chalice, though vigorous debate surrounds the question of whether it was a "disappearing" chalice.)

Others argue that the UPG dates from the High Middle Ages, when the Philosophers Guild entered the world of commerce by selling bawdy pamphlets to pilgrims facing long lines for the restroom. Business boomed until 1211 when Pope Innocent III condemned the publications. Not surprisingly, this led to increased sales, even as half our membership was burned at the stake.

More recently, revisionist historians have pinpointed the birth of the Guild to the time it was still cool to live in New York City's Lower East Side. Two brothers turned their inner creativity and love of paying rent towards fulfilling the people's needs for finger puppets, warm slippers, coffee cups, and cracking up at stuff.

Most of the proceeds go to unemployed philosophers (and their associates). A portion also goes to some groups working on profound causes.
