Pablo Picasso was a Spanish artist born in Malaga, Spain, in 1881. He was one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century as well as the fact the fact that he was the creator of cubism, a style of art he used in most of his work. He began his life as a child prodigy in art and ended it leaving a mark on the world as one of the most renowned artists of his century. At the age of 13, he entered the La Llotja Art School in Barcelona at the age of 13. By this time, his talent was already very apparent to others around him who saw his work. He was able to turn anything in the world around him into a Picasso type painting.
When Picasso moved to Paris, France to open his own art studio, he started painting in only shades of blue and green from 1901 to 1904 due to the loss of a dear friend. After he had greatly overcome his period of depression, fell in love with a beautiful woman, and was newly prosperous in his artwork with thanks to art dealer Ambroise Vollard, a new period had begun for him. This new period he started is ‘till today known as the rose period when he used warm colors as pinks, reds, and beiges. In 1907, Pablo Picasso produced a painting unlike anything he or anyone else had ever painted before, a work that highly influenced the path of art in his era. Some people were appalled by the work of Picasso the cubism and the nudity of some of the people in his paintings made them turn away for a small time, but slowly but surely, they saw the paintings in a different way, the way true artists look at true artwork. Picassos range of artwork varied from surrealist, to pottery, to cubism, and more. His artistic experimentation never ceased until his death on April 8, 1973.

Along with cubism Picasso also went through other period called the blue period when he was depressed and the rose period when he fell in love.

He found the city 's bohemian street life fascinating, and his pictures of people in dance halls and cafés show how he assimilated the postimpressionism of Paul Gauguin and the symbolist painters called the Nabis.
