Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973)
Pablo Picasso is widely regarded as one of the most renowned painters of the 20th century. On October 20, 1881, he came into this world in Malaga, Spain. Picasso, besides being a painter, was also an accomplished printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet, and playwright. The majority of his time as an adult was spent in France.

Early Life
From a young age, Picasso demonstrated both a deep passion and remarkable talent for drawing. According to his mother, he said his first words were "piz, piz", which was a shortened version of "lápiz", the Spanish word for "pencil". Picasso began his formal artistic training at the age of seven, under the guidance of his father, who taught him figure drawing and oil painting techniques. Once, the father caught his son in the act of painting over his incomplete pigeon sketch. Impressed by his son's precise technique, the father realized that thirteen-year-old Picasso had surpassed him in skill, leading him to make a vow to abandon painting.

Fame
Picasso's upbringing paved the way for his extraordinary journey as one of the most eminent and influential artists of the 20th century. He is renowned for being a co-founder of the Cubist movement, a pioneer who revolutionized the art world with his innovative works, including constructed sculpture and collage. The relentless exploration and development of diverse artistic styles by Picasso only serve to strengthen his remarkable legacy. Picasso is now seen as one of the foremost artists who shaped the groundbreaking advancements in the visual arts during the early years of the 20th century.

Personal Life And Death
Picasso had numerous romantic relationships with many women throughout his life. He enjoyed the privilege of being married two times and experiencing the joy of raising four children, namely Paulo, Maya, Claude, and Paloma, each of whom came from different mothers. On the evening of April 8, 1973, in the beautiful town of Mougins, France, tragedy struck when he breathed his last breath. He was buried in the beautiful Chateau of Vauvenargues near Aix-en-Provence, a property that he had bought in 1958 and shared with Jacqueline from 1959 to 1962. Jacqueline Roque forbade her children, Claude and Paloma, from attending the funeral. Jacobian Roque, feeling devastated and isolated following the passing of Picasso, tragically took her own life in 1986 at the age of 59, using a firearm.
