Pablo Picasso, Spanish (1881 - 1973)
Picasso, the renowned artist, was not only a painter but also a skilled draftsman and sculptor. He is considered as one of the most renowned figures in 20th-century art. He gained his greatest fame by co-establishing the Cubist movement and by showcasing an extensive range of styles in his artistic creations.
Picasso demonstrated uncanny artistic talent in his early years, painting realistically through his childhood and adolescence; during the first decade of the twentieth century his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas. Picasso's creativity manifested itself in numerous mediums, including oil paintings, sculpture, drawing, and architecture. His revolutionary artistic accomplishments brought him universal renown and immense fortunes throughout his life, making him the best-known figure in twentieth century art.
