Picasso's relationship with Spain
His experiences in Spain gave him inspiration and references that stayed with him throughout his life and work.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born in Malaga in 1881. He created his first works in the Fine Arts schools of A Coruña, Barcelona and Madrid and on his initial trips to Paris. In 1907 he painted "Les demoiselles d'Avignon", the starting point of cubism, a revolutionary artistic movement that he devised together with Braque and that has made him one of the most influential artists of all time. "Guernica" is his most famous piece. He also explored genres such as stage design, sculpture, ceramics and engraving. He died in Mougins in 1973 but his legacy is more alive than ever.
