About Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish artist whose creativity reshaped modern art. A co-founder of Cubism, he experimented with color, shape, and perspective to create art that challenged how people see the world. In his later years, Picasso simplified his style into elegant, child-like line drawings—expressing movement and emotion with just a few strokes. As he once said, “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”
