Picasso (Simon Schama's Power of Art)
Born in Malaga, Spain, Picassos many styles and prolific work rate made him one of the most recognised artists of the 20th century. Not limited to one medium, he created sculptures, etchings and prints. His artist career only began to boom once he moved to Paris in the early 1900s. Picassos Blue period, reflecting the colour and his mood at the time, was followed by his Rose period, work inspired by primitive art and then Cubism, which shocked the critics, but ultimately made his name. Guernica, painted in 1937, was created during Picassos Surrealist period and captures the horrors of the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. By the end of World War II, Picasso had become an internationally known artist and celebrity.
