Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain, in 1881. He was a child prodigy and showed an early aptitude for art. His father, José Ruiz Blasco, was a painter and art teacher, and he encouraged his son's artistic development. Picasso moved to Barcelona in 1895 to study at the School of Fine Arts. He quickly became disillusioned with the traditional teaching methods, and he left the school after a year. He then moved to Paris, where he met other avant-garde artists, such as Georges Braque and Henri Matisse.

In Paris, Picasso began to experiment with new styles of painting, including Cubism. Cubism is a style of art that breaks down objects into their geometric components. Picasso's Cubist paintings are some of his most famous works, and they helped to revolutionize the world of art.

In addition to painting, Picasso was also a prolific sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist. more...
