About the Artist:
Pablo Picasso was a Spanish-born painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer. Picasso is widely known for co-founding the Cubist movement as well as the invention of assemblage and collage. Early on, he was formally trained by his father, a professor at the School of Fine Arts in A Coruña and went on to show artistic excellence at a young age. Inspired by the work of artists such as Henri Matisse, Picasso's style evolved throughout his life to explore naturalistic, neoclassical, Surrealist, and cubist styles before beginning to combine them later on. Picasso's work was also influenced by the women in his life, with the female form being a frequent subject.
