Pablo Picasso

Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer who lived in France for most of his adult life. He is without a doubt one of the most well-known names in Western art, with an 80-year career that spans several genres and over 20,000 pieces.

Picasso had the exceptional creative ability as a kid, painting in a realistic style throughout his youth and adolescence. His style evolved over the first decade of the twentieth century as he experimented with various theories, techniques, and concepts. Picasso's contribution to the birth of Cubism would be enough to ensure his place in history, but he accomplished so much more. He is known for demonstrating how Classical art can be mastered and then modified into something new, fresh, and contemporary.
