Pablo Picasso--Sydney Natkiel

Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, print maker, ceramicist and theatre designer who spent most of his life in France. Picasso's work is often categorized in periods.  While the names of many of his later periods are debated, the most commonly accepted periods in his work are the Blue Period, the Rose Period, the African-influenced Period, Analytic Cubism, and Synthetic Cubism, also referred to as the Crystal period. Much of Picasso's work of the late 1910s and early 1920s is in a neoclassical style, and his work in the mid-1920s often has characteristics of Surrealism. His later work often combines elements of his earlier styles.
