Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish artist and one of the most influential figures in modern art. Known for co-founding Cubism alongside Georges Braque, Picasso revolutionized traditional art by fragmenting and abstracting forms to show multiple perspectives simultaneously. His prolific career spanned painting, sculpture, ceramics, drawing, and printmaking, producing iconic works such as Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and Guernica. Picasso's innovative style and bold experimentation shaped the course of 20th-century art, leaving a lasting legacy through his boundary-pushing creativity and artistic versatility.
