The greatest artist of the twentieth century, Picasso, invented or participated in most of the major styles of modern art. His artistic genius and visual inventiveness will be explored from 1894 (age 13) to his death in 1973 (age 92), against the background of eight decades of modern art. The focus of the investigation will not be limited to psychological and iconographic factors, but will be discussed in the historical and artistic context of his time.
