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.

Picasso: Peace and Freedom at Tate Liverpool
1 June 2010 • Mark Westall
Such emphasis on context however; inevitably raises the age old question of the relevance that politics and history should play upon a work of art. Is the work not parasitically benefiting from the heightened emotion of the causes it embraces in order to add a sense of depth?
