Science and Charity (1897) - Pablo Picasso |
“When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning.
When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.”
- Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso, Spanish born painter and sculptor, was the founder of Western modern art. He demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent at an early age.
A good artist is someone who either soothes or stimulates. A great artist like Picasso does both for he provokes and inspires.
He created an art movement known as Cubism. In Cubist paintings, objects are broken apart and put back together in weird forms and geometric shapes like cubes, cones, or cylinders. The final image provokes the viewer to step out of the normal and mundane and examine objects and situations with a refreshingly interesting and unusual perspective.
