Born
the son of a Spanish painter in 1881, Pablo Picasso
produced his first work of art at age eight. He worked
throughout his life with a vast range of media including
painting, sculpture and collage.
Considered by many to be the most important artist of the
twentieth century, he is renowned for his technical
skill, versatility and incredible productivity. His work
and life, spent primarily in Paris and the South of
France, is characterized by limitless energy and an
insatiable appetite for experience, expression and love.
When he died at age 91, he left behind a body of work
that is unlikely ever to be surpassed.
