Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), a genius of the 20th century, started as the son of a mediocre painter, surpassing his father's talent by age 13. Inspired by French Art Nouveau painters like Toulouse-Lautrec and Cezanne, his early works reflect the profound impact of personal tragedy, transitioning through distinct phases: the Blue Period's themes of loneliness and despair, followed by the warmer tones of the Rose Period. His groundbreaking work in Cubism (1907-1917) introduced multiple perspectives and challenged artistic conventions, culminating in monumental pieces like "Guernica."
