Great Masters of Art: Pablo Picasso

As one of the most famous and prolific painters in art history, Pablo Picasso maintains his popularity even today. With his inexhaustible creativity and exuberant lifestyle, he has been both celebrated and criticized, yet he introduced innovations throughout his entire life. By adapting diverse art forms, techniques, and styles, and inventing new ones, he produced works of unique richness. While doing so, he never severed his connection with both his contemporaries and historical artists.

As one of the most influential figures in modern art, Picasso worked within an unprecedented diversity of styles. His life, which began modestly in Spain, gained great momentum upon his arrival in Paris, where he and his friend Georges Braque spearheaded a massive artistic revolution called Cubism. He clearly demonstrated this creativity in all the works he produced, from Les Demoiselles d'Avignon to Guernica, and from the sets and costumes he designed for the Ballets Russes to his sculptures.

This book, part of Hayalperest Publishing’s “Great Masters of Art” series, offers an authoritative guide to the life and art of this great genius. It traces the development of Picasso’s art and success throughout his long and magnificent life, from his childhood in Spain to his old age in the South of France. It provides insights into the reasons underlying the enduring impact of works by Picasso that once baffled avant-garde art enthusiasts and even his own inner circle.
