Born in Malaga, Spain, Pablo Picasso is probably the best-known and most influential artist of this century.
Picasso's painting began late in the nineteenth century, and he went through a couple of phases (the "Blue Period" of c.1901-4, the "Rose Period" of 1904-6) before developing the principles of Cubism, along with Georges Braque, around 1907-8.
Picasso did not limit himself to painting, exploring other media such as collage, sculpture, and pottery, designing sets for the stage, and other endeavours.
