Pablo Picasso
Spanish, 1881-1973. The art movement of Cubism was said to have changed the face of European painting and sculpture. Pablo Picasso was the co-founder of the entire movement together with Georges Braque. Cubism reconciled the three-dimensional with the two-dimensional spaces, in an attempt to hint at the intention behind the themes. Picasso also contributed significantly to Surrealism, Neoclassicism, and Expressionism. Despite achieving international recognition before the age of 50, a comparative analysis of the works created by Picasso in his life, from his childhood to his death, portrays a scale of development that perhaps no other artist could have achieved. By creating more than 20,000 Picasso paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, theatrical sets, and costumes, Picasso played an unparalleled role in impacting the course of 20th century art.
