An unrivaled giant of 20th-century painting was Pablo Picasso. He influenced and worked with other creative geniuses like Henri Matisse and Georges Braque, and even the most casual museum visitor is familiar with the masterpieces from his Blue Period and his Rose Period. Mara Picasso López and José Ruiz Blasco welcomed Pablo Picasso into the world in Málaga, Spain. His father was a professional painter who also taught fine arts and served as a curator for a nearby museum. He earned a living by painting birds and other game animals.
In 1892, Picasso enrolled in the Guarda School of Fine Arts in Corua to begin his painting studies. He relocated to Barcelona with his family three years later, and at the age of 13, Picasso enrolled in the Llotja School of Fine Arts in Barcelona. At both schools, Picasso's father was a teacher. In the autumn of 1895, the family relocated to Barcelona, and Pablo enrolled in the local art college (La Llotja), where his father had recently retired as a professor of drawing. The family believed that their son would achieve success as an academic painter, and his ultimate recognition in Spain appeared certain in 1897, when his work Science and Charity, for which his father posed for the doctor, received an honorable mention at the Fine Arts Exhibition in Madrid.
Picasso's art from the period of the Demoiselles was so radical that almost no 20th-century artist could escape his impact. Furthermore, while other artists, such as Henri Matisse and Georges Braque, tended to stick to specific stylistic limitations, Picasso remained an innovator until his death. That led to misunderstanding and criticism both during his lifetime and subsequently, and it wasn't until the 1980s that his final works began to be acknowledged for themselves as well as for their significant effect on a new generation of young artists.
Picasso was able to maintain the majority of his output in his personal collection because he was able to sell paintings at extremely high prices beginning in the 1920s. He had over 50,000 works in various media from all periods of his career at the time of his death, a portion of which belonged to the French state and the remainder to his heirs. Their display and publishing contributed to supporting the highest estimations of Picasso's astounding capabilities of conception and execution across a more than 80-year period.
