Pablo Picasso was born on October 5, 1881 in Malaga Spain. Jose Ruiz, his father, was also an artist. Picasso painted in a variety of styles including Cubism and Expressionism. He was also a sculpture. In Cubism he attempted to show the dimensions of the objects throughout his paintings. When he painted in the classical style his shapes were round and soft. In Cubism, the shapes he painted were square and hard.

When Picasso painted he had a blue period and a rose period. During his twenties he used mostly light blue colours. The rose period came after the blue period and began after he moved from Spain to France.

Picasso became very famous due to the fact he could use many styles. He used great lines and colour in his work.
