Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer.
One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore.
He also liked cats!

It is good to see that he liked cats and included them in his paintings.
ReplyDeleteWow! One certainly gets an education when visiting your blog. I love this sort of thing. Of course I am familiar with Picasso, but not so much with his alter ego PiCATsso. Good to know this great artist was a cat purrson, too. It speaks volumes.
