When asking for the most famous artist of the 20th century, there is just one name that fits the description: Pablo Picasso. The oeuvre of the Spanish artist, innovative in any of its creative periods from the "Blue Period" and the "Rose Period" over Cubism, Neoclassicism and Surrealism to a distinguished late work, manages to astonish with its ever new trend-setting potential.
Pablo Picasso was a master in various techniques: painting, graphic art, sculpting, objects, assemblage, photography, stage design, ceramics and literature served him as mediums for his visionary art. The world of Pablo Picasso's motifs was also dominated by complexity: the melancholic isolated figures in his early works, followed by the experiments with abstraction, the Cubist still lives and portraits, the burly female bodies of an exalted Classicism, and finally the world-famous multi-perspective portraits, and time and again the recurring topics "painter and model" and "bullfight". Pablo Picasso's international honors are innumerable - his work alone is enough to make him legendary.
