Pablo Picasso - Spanish painter, sculptor, draughtsman, printmaker, ceramicist and poet, considered one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Co-founder of Cubism, since 1907. Picasso, influenced by Paul Cézanne and Iberian and African art, began creative experiments with geometrization and simplification of form, which gave rise to Cubism (Virgins of Avignon, Portrait of Gertrude Stein). In the further period after his collaboration with Georges Brac, the principles of analytical, hermetic and synthetic cubism crystallized.
