Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)

Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born 1881 in the Spanish city of Málaga and first visited the art academy La Llotja in Barcelona and from1897 the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, which he quit without graduating. The artist spent the years around the turn of the century in Paris. He established Cubism with his French friend Georges Braque, deeply influencing later avant-garde artists. His 1907 painting ‘Les Demoiselles d’Avignon’ became the key work of modernism. Picasso left behind an enormous body of work of about 50,000 artworks, comprising paintings, drawings, graphic art, sculptures and pottery. Already during Picasso’s lifetime, two museums were established in his honor: the Museo Picasso in Barcelona and the Musée Picasso in Antibes in southern France.
