Pablo Picasso is considered by many to be the greatest artist of the 20th century. He was at the forefront of the development of modern art. With fellow artists George Braque, he founded the revolutionary art movement known as Cubism. His restless energy took him in many new directions. Rejecting conventional approaches to art, Picasso brought a new sense of freedom to both painting and sculpture. This book traces the life of Picasso from his childhood in Southern Spain, during which he showed remarkable gifts for drawing and painting, to his old age in the South of France. It discusses the techniques that he used to create his major works and also shows how these can be tried out by the reader.
