Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, leaving behind an astonishingly extensive oeuvre. Imaginative and experimental, he explored nearly all media, whether painting, drawing, graphics, sculpture, ceramics, or stage design. To this day, the stylistic versatility of his works fascinates, as does their intriguing connection to Picasso's biography. His journey begins with the works from his famous pink and blue periods, and later he became one of the founders of Cubism, creating icons of art history such as the scandalous painting Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and the anti-war piece Guernica. Ina Conzen traces Picasso's life and work, particularly focusing on the strategically orchestrated portrayal of the artist as a genius creator by Picasso himself and his circle.
