Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881 in Màlaga, Spain and died on April 8, 1973 in Mougins, France.

He is the creator of Cubism and one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Although a relatively poor student, he displayed a prodigious talent for drawing at a very young age. His adult career is broken into the Blue Period, and the Rose Period. In 1970 Picasso produced a painting different from anything anyone had done ever before. This is how Cubism started. Both Picasso and Pollock are exceptional paintes.
