Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish artist based in France, one of the major figures of modern art, co-founder of Cubism with Georges Braque, and the creator of an immense body of work spanning painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, and ceramics. From the Blue and Rose periods to Guernica (1937), he revolutionized the forms and visual languages of the twentieth century while remaining a figure as influential as he is controversial.
