Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Picasso is considered to be one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. He created thousands of paintings, prints, sculptures and ceramics during a time span of about 75 years. Picasso’s art evolved through periods of characteristic styles, most notably those of his Blue and Rose periods. Along with George Braque, Picasso developed the style called Cubism that forever changed the way both artists and collectors looked at shape. Picasso was well known for experimenting in the print studio. Not only was he interested in the techniques of the master printers but he often spent nights in the studio developing new ways of printing to achieve different and creative processes of print making. In every area, Picasso influenced and dominated the art of the twentieth century like no other modern artist.
