Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso [8] was born on 25 October 1881 in Málaga, Spain [6], and lived until 8 April 1973 [2]. A Spanish citizen [10] who spent most of his adult life in France [2], he was also known by the pseudonym Pau de Gósol [4]. He worked across a wide range of genres, including graphics, ceramics, figurative art, portraiture, the nude, history painting, mythological painting, and allegory [1].
Picasso is recognized as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century [2]. He co-founded the Cubist movement, is credited with the invention of constructed sculpture, and contributed to the co-invention of collage [2]. His work also engaged with Surrealism and Post-Impressionism [11]. Exceptionally prolific across his long life, he achieved universal renown and immense fortune through his revolutionary artistic accomplishments [5].
His archives are held at the Musée Picasso [9], reflecting the enduring institutional interest in preserving and presenting the full breadth of his career.
