Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, also known as Pablo Picasso, was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright. He was one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century. Picasso was born on October 25, 1881 in Malaga, Spain. He is famous for being the co-founder of cubism which is a style of painting where objects of the painting subject are broken up and repainted in an abstract form. He introduces this to other artists and gave them a new and unique perspective of art. Picasso's work is divided into periods - The Blue Period (1901-1904), which were sad looking paintings using blue and blue-green colors, the Rose Period (1905-1907), which was a more happy style with orange and pink colors,
