Pablo Picasso was born in Málaga, Spain, on October 25, 1881. Picasso was a painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist and stage designer. He became one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century and the co-creator of Cubism. As a Cubist painter, Picasso was not bound to copying form, texture, colour, and space; instead, he presented a new reality in paintings that depicted radically fragmented objects. Picasso died April 8, 1973, in Mougins, France.
