"My name is Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) I was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer who spent most of my adult life in France. I'm one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, I was known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that I helped develop and explore. Among my most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and the anti-war painting Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War."
