Founder of Cubism, the prolific Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) created 20,000 artworks during his lifetime. “The Dog,” possibly a portrait of his dachshund, Lump, is the most famous of his numerous animal drawings. In contrast with the bold complexity of his other works, Picasso’s beloved animals were always drawn with a gentle touch. His drawings of doves, flowers, butterflies and owls all reflect this minimalist style.
Artistic genius Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) co-founded Cubism and produced a monumental 20,000 artworks during his 70-year career. Picasso’s torrential outpouring of work was so extensive and complex that art historians have divided it into individual periods. A prodigy in his youth, Picasso enrolled in advanced classes at Barcelona’s Royal Academy of Art at age 15. The strong geometric forms of his groundbreaking Cubist works redefined art as a medium that could digress from literal images of reality. Passionately creative in every genre from primitive art to sketches to Surrealism, Picasso profoundly impacted 20th century art.
