Picasso, Pablo Ruiz y (1881-1973), Spanish painter and sculptor, generally considered the greatest artist of the 20th century. He was unique as an inventor of forms, as an innovator of styles and techniques, as a master of various media, and as one of the most prolific artists in history. He created more than 20,000 works. Born in Malaga on October 25, 1881, Picasso was the son of Jose Ruiz Blasco, an art teacher, and Maria Picasso y Lopez. Until 1898 he always used his father's name, Ruiz, and his mother's maiden name, Picasso, to sign his pictures. Throughout Picasso's lifetime, his work was exhibited on countless occasions. Most unusual, however, was the 1971 exhibition at the Louvre, in Paris, honoring him on his 90th birthday; until then, living artists had not been shown there. Picasso died in his villa Notre-Dame-de-Vie near Mougins on April 8, 1973. |

Museo Picasso Virtual Though this is not the "official" Picasso home page, Pablo himself would recommend this site as the No.1. It is the web site with the largest selection of works by Picasso (WORKS: listing all his works, a really huge number of images online), the largest biographical selection (LIFE: many articles), the most extensive bibliography (BOOKS), plus information on Movies and other news about Picasso. This site by Enrique Mallen is a must-see for Picasso-fans. |
The Pablo Picasso Official Website OK, this is the "official" site, offering almost 50 images of the MOMA-exhibition "Picasso and portraiture": Self-portraits, women, friends; (very short) introduction by Claude Picasso, a few announcements of current exhibitions. That's it. |
