Known as the "Father of Cubism," his prolific and inventive work - paintings, sculpture, prints, ceramics, and graphics - had an immense impact on modern art. The son of a Spanish art teacher and precociously talented, by his early 20s Picasso had moved to Paris and was working on the paintings of his Blue and Rose periods. In 1907 he painted the seminal "Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon," its stylized and angular manner containing the beginnings of Cubism. Working closely with Georges Braque, Picasso went on to develop his revolutionary way of seeing reality by reducing volume to facets and planes, showing multiple viewpoints simultaneously. Later Picasso explored Realism and Pablo Picasso, Surrealism, and in 1937 painted the masterpiece Spanish artist, 1881-1973 "Guernica," which reflected the horror and violence of the Spanish Civil War. After World War II he moved to the south of France, where he continued to work in many media forms, especially ceramics. He died at age 92, still a great master. CHRONOLOGY
