Pablo Picasso ( 25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973)
was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer who
spent most of his adult life in France. As one of the greatest and most
influential artists of the 20th century, he is widely known for co-founding the
Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage,
and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among
his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon
(1907), and Guernica (1937), a portrayal of the German bombing of
Guernica during the Spanish Civil War.
Picasso, Henri Matisse and Marcel
Duchamp are commonly regarded as the three artists who most defined the revolutionary
developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century,
responsible for significant developments in painting, sculpture, printmaking
and ceramics.
Picasso demonstrated
extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a realistic
manner through his childhood and adolescence. During the first decade of the
20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories,
techniques, and ideas. His revolutionary artistic accomplishments brought him
universal renown and immense fortune, making him one of the best-known figures
in 20th-century art.
