Ruiz y Picasso known as Pablo Ruiz Picasso (Spanish pro-

designer, one of the greatest and most influential artists of the

20th century. He is widely known for co-founding the Cubist
movement and for the wide variety of styles that he helped de-

Library proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and Guernica
(1937), a portrayal of the German bombing of Guernica during

the Spanish Civil War.
The enormous body of Picasso’s work remains,
and the legend lives on—a tribute to the vitality of
the ―disquieting‖ Spaniard with the
―sombre…piercing‖ eyes who superstitiously be-
lieved that work would keep him alive. For nearly
80 of his 91 years Picasso devoted himself to an
artistic production that contributed significantly to PABLO PICASSO
and paralleled the whole development of modern
art in the 20th century.
Picasso’s art from the time of the Demoiselles was radical in
nature, virtually no 20th-century artist could escape his influ-
Welcome: New Staff Members ence. Picasso continued to be an innovator into the last decade
of his life. This led to misunderstanding and criticism both in his
lifetime and since, and it was only in the 1980s that his last
paintings began to be appreciated both in themselves and for
their profound influence on the rising generation of young paint-
ers. Since Picasso was able from the 1920s to sell works at
very high prices, he could keep most of his oeuvre in his own
collection. At the time of his death he owned some 50,000
works in various media from every period of his career, which
passed into possession of the French state and his heirs. Their
exhibition and publication has served to reinforce the highest
estimates of Picasso’s astonishing powers of invention and
execution over a span of more than 80 years.
