WHO IS PABLO PICASSO?

Picasso was born in Malaga in Spain in 1881. His style of art was considered ‘modern’ and ‘abstract’. He is considered one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He is best known as the co-founder of cubism. A work of art is cubist when the artist chooses to break up objects and re-assemble them in abstract and geometric form.

Some abstract artists had theories on the emotions that were caused by certain colors and shapes. They planned out their seemingly random paintings to the last detail. Other abstract artists painted with emotion and randomness hoping to capture their emotion and subconscious thoughts on the canvas.
