Pablo Picasso, Artist: 
- Born: 25 October 1881
- Birthplace: Málaga, Spain
- Died: 8 April 1973
- Best Known As: The 20th century's most famous artist
Pablo Ruiz y Picasso showed artistic ability at an early age, and
when he began to study art seriously in Barcelona and Madrid, he was
already a skilled painter. In the early 1900s he visited and
eventually settled in Paris, where he was part of a vibrant artistic
community that included Gertrude Stein. Although greatly influenced by
other artists in Europe and beyond, Picasso was inventive and
prolific, and early in his career earned a worldwide reputation as an
innovator. Along with Henri Matisse, he is considered one of the
greatest artists of the 20th century. His enormous body of work spans
so many years that art experts generally separate his career into
distinct phases, such as the Blue Period, the Rose Period and his most
famous contribution to modern art, Cubism. Picasso, unlike so many
before him, was an international celebrity as well as an important
contributor to the world of art.
