Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer who spent most of his adult life in France.

Throughout his long and varied career, Picasso produced more than 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, theatre sets and costumes. His innovation and genius continue to inspire beyond his time.

Picasso is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore.
