Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and printmaker who is considered one of the most influential and prolific artists of the 20th century. He is most famous for co-founding the Cubist movement and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Early in his career, Picasso experimented with Post-Impressionism, and soon developed various styles of his own, often inspired by Iberian sculpture, African art, and the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century. Throughout his career, Picasso sought to represent the full scope of human experience, while also infusing his works with a distinct personal touch. He is known for his masterful use of line and color, particularly in paintings such as Guernica, The Three Musicians, and Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. After devoting much of his life to painting and sculpture, Picasso's legacy as a great modern artist lives on, and his work continues to inspire and challenge artists today.
