Picasso co-founded Cubism, a revolutionary art movement that broke subjects into geometric shapes, alongside Georges Braque. He explored various styles throughout his life, including the Blue Period, Rose Period, and Surrealism. Famous works include Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and Guernica, the latter depicting the horrors of war. Picasso was also a skilled sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist. His creativity and innovation reshaped modern art, leaving a lasting legacy worldwide.
