Picasso Cubist Style Self Portrait

Picasso

Pablo Picasso was one of the most well known and influential artists of the 20th century. He was a painter, sculptor, print-maker, and ceramicist.

Take a look at Picasso in action. He was constantly making art, and worked in many different styles:

Picasso developed a style known as Cubism. Cubism is an abstract art form that was influenced by Egyptian, African and Native American art. Cubist art is very flat and angular, and shows multiple views of an object, such as the front and side, in the same composition.

Picasso started as a traditional painter, but his style changed over the years.
