José Ruiz y Blasco (April 12, 1838 – May 3, 1913) was a Spanish painter, an art teacher, and the father of artist Pablo Picasso (1881–1973).[1]
He was born in Málaga, Spain where he became a teacher of drawing at the Escuela Provincial de Bellas Artes. He specialized in still lifes, landscapes, and images of doves and pigeons. He gave his son his first art lessons in 1888. In 1891 Ruiz y Blasco moved to La Coruña and taught at the Escuela de Bellas Artes, and Pablo attended his ornamental drawing classes. In 1895 he moved to Barcelona and taught at the Escuela de Bellas Artes ("La Lonja").[1]
Ruiz y Blasco died in Barcelona in 1913 at the age of 75.
