Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973) was a prolific artist who worked with painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, and ceramics, and was one of the most influential artists of the 20th Century. Born in Málaga, Spain, and later moving to France, Picasso’s style was made up of his Blue Period (1901-1904), Rose Period (1905), Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907), and his Cubism phase (1908-1913) which was influenced by African Sculpture and the works of Cézanne. Starting as a young naturalist artist, his work matured throughout his life as he experimented with Cubism, Neoclassicism, Surrealism, and beyond, influencing modern and contemporary art throughout the decades. He is credited as one of the driving forces in having created the Cubist style, and often mixed styles to create entirely new ones. He also helped raise Collage to be recognized as fine art. Many artists after him are inspired by his use of color, form, and perspective. Picasso’s work is currently in the collections of many institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Musée Picasso Paris, Museu Picasso Barcelona, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
