Pablo Picasso Art

Spanish, 1881-1973

One of the most prolific and revolutionary artists the world has ever seen, Pablo Picasso had a tremendous impact on the development of 20th-century modern art. Although he is best known for his association with the Cubist movement, which he founded with Georges Braque, Picasso’s influence extends to Surrealism, neoclassicism and Expressionism.

“Every act of creation is, first of all, an act of destruction,” the Spanish artist proclaimed. In Picasso's Cubist paintings, he emphasizes the two-dimensionality of the canvas, breaking with conventions regarding perspective, foreshortening and proportion. Picasso was inspired by Iberian and African tribal art. One of his most famous pre-Cubist works is Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907), a painting considered immoral and shocking at the time for its depiction of nude women whose faces resemble Iberian tribal masks.

Picasso made many portraits in this style, most often of the women in his life, their expressively colored faces composed of geometric shards of surface planes. In Woman in a Hat (Olga), 1935, he painted his first wife as an assemblage of abstract forms, leaving the viewer to decipher the subject through the contrasting colors and shapes. Picasso was a tireless artist, creating more than 20,000 paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics and sculptures. Tracing his life’s work reveals the progression of modern art, on which he had an unparalleled influence.

Questions About Pablo Picasso Art
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
    To tell if your Picasso painting is real, experts recommend taking it to a knowledgeable appraiser or art dealer. Unlike prints, which can be purchased on the secondary market, authentic Picasso paintings are rarely found outside the collections of museums and well-established private collectors. However, there are many convincing fakes in existence. Someone with training and experience will be best able to verify the artist's signature, the brushwork of the painting, the canvas, the frame and other features to determine its authenticity. Shop a selection of Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    How much a Pablo Picasso drawing is worth depends on its size, complexity, historical significance, condition and other factors. One of his drawings, Étreinte, done in white wax crayon and pencil on red paper, sold for $4.9 million, while a simpler pen and ink wash on paper called Baigneuse et cabine de bains fetched a selling price of more than $623,000. One of the most prolific and revolutionary artists the world has ever seen, Pablo Picasso had a tremendous impact on the development of 20th-century modern art. Although he is best known for his association with the Cubist movement, which he founded with Georges Braque, Picasso’s influence extends to Surrealism, neoclassicism and Expressionism. If you own a Picasso drawing, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can evaluate the piece and provide you with its estimated fair market value.

    Picasso's most famous piece is arguably Guernica, which he created in 1937. A black-and-white oil painting, it captures the horrors of war with its depiction of the German bombing of Guernica, Spain. Another of his well-known works is Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. When it was produced in 1907, the painting was considered immoral and shocking for how it showed nude women whose faces resembled Iberian tribal masks. Other notable works by Picasso include The Old Guitarist, Le Rêve, The Weeping Woman and Girl Before a Mirror. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Pablo Picasso art.

    Pablo Picasso is most famous for founding the Cubist movement, which uses several points of view and perspectives, creating a geometric-looking result. Cubism was considered a massive break from traditional methods of painting. One of Picasso's most famous cubist pieces is “Guernica,” the artist's representation of the Spanish Civil War.

    No, Pablo Picasso was not truly an abstract artist, in the opinion of experts. While he did help to shift art away from naturalistic forms toward abstraction with his Cubist pieces, most of his works weren't purely abstract. A good example of this is his well-known Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. In this painting, the female figures are abstracted, but you can still tell that the forms represent the human body.

    Picasso's four art periods are called the Blue period, the Rose period, the African-influenced period and the Cubist period. The Blue period coincided with the turn of the 20th century and included works like The Old Guitarist and The Blue Room. As its name suggests, this period was marked by Picasso's use of shades of blues and greens, which instilled in his paintings a sense of melancholy. Around 1905, Picasso entered his Rose period, adopting a brighter palette of oranges and pinks. Significant works from this time include Autoportrait à la palette and Garçon à la pipe. Many experts point to the 1907 painting Les Demoiselles d’Avignon as the start of Picasso's African-influenced period, during which Picasso employed a style inspired by Iberian and African tribal art. Picasso made many portraits in this style, most often of the women in his life, their expressively colored faces broken into geometric shards of surface planes. By the 1910s, this style had evolved into Cubism, with Picasso fragmenting his subjects into shapes. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Pablo Picasso art.

    The difference between Matisse and Picasso is that their work is associated with different art movements. Henri Matisse was a leading proponent of Fauvism, a movement whose name is derived from the French word for "wild beast.” Marked by vibrant hues, Fauvist paintings like Matisse’s famous 1906 composition Le Bonheur de vivre have wild, active brushstrokes and a palette unconstrained by nature, resulting in imagery like women with purple skin and trees with orange leaves. Although his work evolved over the course of his career, Pablo Picasso is best known for his association with the Cubist movement, which he is credited with founding with Georges Braque. In Cubist works, reality gets fragmented into flat, geometric forms. Shop a collection of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
