Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso is the standard example: the melancholy Blue Period and gentler Rose Period, the shock of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon in 1907, Cubism developed side by side with Georges Braque, a neoclassical return to heavy, statuesque figures in the 1920s, Surrealist-tinged distortions leading to Guernica in 1937, and late, fast, loose paintings and ceramics made at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris.
