Nude drawing “Untitled” (1954) by Pablo Picasso, heliograph (unique piece)

1881-1973 - A century-defining artist from Spain. "Painting is stronger than I am; it forces me to do what it wants." (Pablo Picasso) At the age of 12, he could already paint like Raphael; by 20, no university professor could impart any further profound insights into art to him. When Pablo Picasso died at the biblical age of 91, he left the world a body of work comprising over 40,000 pieces—and the certainty of having been the most important artist of the 20th century.
