Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). The son of a professor of painting, whose work includes the entire pilgrimage of modern painting. He created a new style - Cubism - which appeared to various degrees in all his works. The spectrum of his paintings is very diverse (at least 40 different creative periods were identified) and expansive (representing some 35000 pieces). It is therefore impossible to place Picasso in some imaginary pigeonhole. It makes no sense to name his famous works, there are hundreds of them, but it is worth mentioning probably the most famous: Guernica (bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War). This painting is a synthesis of all the art periods - Realism, the blue and pink periods, Cubism, Surrealism, Expressionism, etc., a cry against the trampling of basic human values ​​that is distinctly timeless and unfortunately still valid today.
