Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso, one of the most recognized figures of  20th century art, was an innovator of styles such as Cubism and Surrealism, and was also among the most innovative, influential and prolific artists of all time.

He was born in Malaga, Spain in 1881. He began studying art under his father's tutelage and went to live in Paris in 2001  where he found the environement conducive for his experiments with new art styles. Constantly updating his style from the Blue Period, to the Rose Period, to the African-influenced Period to Cubism, to Realism and Surrealism, he was a pioneer with a hand in every art movement of the 20th Century. His first wife Olga  Khokhlova, and his most famous lovers, Marie Therese Walter and Dora Maar, were his inspirational models for a series of experimental portraits.

Picasso was a pacifist and his outcry for peace was expressed in a large scale painting Guernica ( 1937 ), created after the German bombing of this Spanish city. His lifelong extraordinary artistic association with Henri Matisse took a form of a ' visual conversation ' and exchange of their paintings with mutual respect. Together with  George Braque he is accepted as an originator of Cubist Painting. He was equally well  known for his intricate collages, sculptures and ceramic work. His paintings are among the most expensive in the world with his painting " Garson a la Pipe " selling for US$104, setting a world record at auction.

His work is held in public and private and public collections worldwide.
