Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish artist, co-founder of Cubism, and influential in France. He explored various styles and produced iconic works like Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and Guernica.
Picasso’s early talent was naturalistic. In the 20th century, he experimented with different styles. Matisse’s Fauvist work inspired him, leading to a fruitful rivalry.
Picasso’s work is categorized into periods: Blue, Rose, African-influenced, Analytic Cubism, Synthetic Cubism, and Surrealism. He achieved universal renown and immense fortune, becoming a 20th-century art icon.
