Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and pioneering figure in modern art whose career spanned more than seven decades and multiple stylistic periods. Born in Málaga, Spain, he showed early artistic talent under his father’s guidance and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Barcelona and Madrid, though he often pursued independent exploration of art and architecture. Picasso’s early work included the symbolically tinged Blue Period (1901–1904) and the lighter, circus-themed Rose Period (1904–1906), followed by the African Period (1907–1909) that influenced the development of Cubism (1910–1919), a movement he co-founded. Throughout his life, Picasso experimented with neoclassicism, Surrealism, and other avant-garde styles, producing monumental works such as Guernica (1937), while also engaging in sculpture, ceramics, poetry, and stage design. His personal life, marked by multiple relationships, marriages, and children, intertwined with his artistic output, reflecting both passion and controversy. Picasso spent his final decades in France, continuing to create prolifically, challenge artistic conventions, and cement a legacy as one of the most influential and sought-after artists in history.
