Pablo Picasso, born on 25 October 1881,
in Málaga, Spain, was a Spanish expatriate painter, sculptor, printmaker,
ceramicist, and stage designer. He was one of the greatest and most-influential
artists of the 20th century and the creator (with Georges Braque) of
Cubism.
The enormous body of
Picasso’s work remains, and the legend lives on—a tribute to the vitality
of the “disquieting” Spaniard with the “sombre…piercing” eyes who
superstitiously believed that work would keep him alive. For nearly 80 of his
91 years, Picasso devoted himself to an artistic production that contributed
significantly to and paralleled the whole development of modern art in
the 20th century.
