About the author:
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor. Together with Georges Braque, he is considered the founder of Cubism. It is estimated that Picasso created about 13,500 paintings and sketches, 100,000 engravings and prints, 34,000 illustrations, and 300 sculptures and ceramic works. His artistic career began early. Picasso's father, José Ruiz, was a painter and taught Picasso various techniques, such as drawing and oil painting. He studied at the Academy of Arts in Madrid but did not complete his studies. In 1901, he moved to Paris, where he met other important artists and began to develop his unique style. His work can be divided into several periods – the Blue Period, the Rose Period, the African-influenced period, Analytical Cubism, and Synthetic Cubism. Picasso had a rich personal life, was married twice, and had several significant relationships with women who often inspired his art. His painting Women of Algiers was sold at a New York auction house in May 2015 for $179.4 million (approximately 4.4 billion CZK), becoming the most expensive work of art ever sold at auction. He is one of the most important figures in 20th-century art.
