'''Pablo Picasso''' (1881-1973) was a [[Spain|Spanish]] artist who did both painting and [[sculpture|sculpting]]. He is most famous for starting a new style of art (along with Basque artist George Braque) called [[cubism]], which embodied the neuroses (some would say schizophrenia) of artist of his era. He was the single most dominating figure in modern art.

The son of an art teacher, Picasso was only 12 when he began exhibiting his first paintings in his famous primitive style in Barcelona.  He created 20,000 paintings, sculptures and drawings during his life.  Perhaps his most famous painting was [http://www.conservapedia.com/Image:Picasso_._Guernica.jpg ''Guernica''], which was inspired by his outrage at the destruction of a Socialist stronghold during the [[Spanish Civil War]].  Picasso, a Socialist, supported the government that General Franco defeated.  Picasso found a more welcoming home in [[France]], and never returned to Spain.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/april/8/newsid_2523000/2523469.stm Pablo Picasso dies] </ref>

“Cubism is no different from any other school of painting. The same principles and the same elements are common to all. The fact that for a long time cubism has not been understood and that even today there are people who cannot see anything in it, means nothing. I do not read English, and an English book is a blank to me. This does not mean that the English language does not exist, and why should I blame anyone but myself if I cannot understand what I know nothing about?”  P. Picasso.
