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 ExpertOctober 7, 2024To tell if a Picasso sketch is real, first compare the signature on your piece to images of authentic works shared by trusted online resources. Looking for any anomalies and learning about the various materials and techniques that the Spanish artist employed during the different phases of his career can also be helpful. If you know approximately when your sketch was likely produced, you can determine whether the materials and techniques are appropriate for that period. Because there are so many Picasso counterfeits on the market, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer perform a professional authentication. Find a collection of Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The 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.
- Are Picasso drawings valuable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024Yes, some Picasso drawings are valuable. In terms of auction sales, Picasso is the top-grossing artist of all time. However, his paintings often sell for considerably more than his drawings, largely due to the fact that the prolific artist produced tens of thousands of sketches during his life. Generally, the subject matter, date and condition of a Picasso drawing will determine how much it is worth. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can give you an estimated value for a particular work. Find a collection of Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024How much an original Pablo Picasso painting is worth depends on its history, size, condition and other factors. In 2023, his Femme à la Montre, a painting from 1932, sold for more than $139 million at auction. If you own an original Picasso painting, the first step in determining how much it may be worth is to enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. Shop a selection of Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024You can see real Picasso paintings in many museums. The largest collection of the Spanish artist's work is at the Musée Picasso in Paris, France.

- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024No, 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.

- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024Picasso'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.
