Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is arguably one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Born in Spain, he became a painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer. Picasso is also credited (along with Georges Braque) to be the creator of Cubism, a groundbreaking style of art that had a profound affect on nearly all iconography thereafter. For eighty of his ninety-one years, Picasso's contribution to the art world was unparalleled.
