Biographical/Historical Information

Pablo Picasso, born in Spain in 1881, was a painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theater designer, and he is considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Picasso is known for having co-founded the Cubist movement, inventing the constructed sculpture and co-inventing the collage, but he is famous foremost for re-inventing his style many times throughout his prolific career: Picasso started with the Blue Period (1901–1904) and then went through the Rose Period (1904–1906), the African-influenced Period (1907–1909), Analytic Cubism (1909–1912) and Synthetic Cubism (1912–1919); in the late 1910s and early 1920s, Picasso created in a neoclassical style and applied Surrealism in the mid-1920s, combining elements of his earlier styles in his later work.
