Pablo Picasso

Spanish · 1881–1973

Spanish artist whose career across nine decades made him the most influential figure in 20th-century art. Co-founding Cubism with Georges Braque around 1907, Picasso fractured pictorial space and reassembled it from multiple viewpoints. Guernica, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, and a vast body of work in painting, sculpture, and printmaking confirm his unmatched range.
