Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)


In the history of modern art, one man’s genius has been nearly universally agreed upon: Pablo Picasso. The story of the life and work of this formidable and extraordinary man, who mastered the drawing of the human body at age 13 and as a mature artist, literally shaped the nature of modern art.

Independent and strong-willed, Picasso had established his own studio in Barcelona by 1899 and at age 18, he entered into the social, cultural and political life of the modern movement. He frequented the new café El Quatre Gats, a center for artists and cultural intellectuals who introduced Picasso to Art Nouveau and Symbolist influenced poster work, as well as anarchist politics. After 1900, Picasso spent much of his time in Paris, remaining there from 1904 to 1947, when he moved to the south of France. Picasso continued to create art throughout his life in a variety of media, themes, forms and styles, which continued until his death in 1973.

Outstanding among the masters of the ages, he remains one of the great legends of the Western world.
