ABOUT PICASSO

Picasso”s abstractions hugely affected the art world of the twentieth century, and he is still one of the most prominent artists of this age. His cubism and the simplification of form correspond to a large extent to the work of African artists.

Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter and sculptor. He was one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century. His free spirit, eccentric style, and complete disregard for criticism to his work characterized his style. His modern approach to painting was also considered to be far ahead of his time. In short, Picasso was arguably the first artist to have such a profound impact on the art world.
