Pablo Picasso
(Malaga 1881 - Mougins 1973)
Spanish painter, printmaker and sculptor, considered as the most famous, prolific and influential artist of the last century.
Initially trained at the School of Fine Arts, Barcelona and the Academy, Madrid, Picasso first received attention after his move to Paris in 1904. Commencing with his Demoiselles dÁvignon (MOMA, New York), Picasso is credited for the development of the Cubism, along with his close associates, Braque and Gris. During this period, that lasted up to the First World War, Picasso also worked on Cubist sculptures, such as the Guitar (Musee Picasso, Paris ).
His travel to Rome in 1917, provoked his interest in Neoclassicism, that is depicted in his works though mid-1920s, such as Mother and Child (Art Institute of Chicago). This period was immediately followed by a period when he created some of his most aggressive and expressive masterpieces: artworks such as The Three Dancers (Tate Gallery, London), Guernica (Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid) and The Charnel House (MOMA, New York).
