Pablo Picasso's status as a legendary artist has made his paintings the gold standard of the art world market for more than 40 years since his death.
Born a child prodigy, for nearly 80 years, Picasso's artistic vision contributed to the creation of cubism around 1907. His works also portrayed some of the most important events of the 20th century, such as his 1917 painting Guernica, a portrait of the German and Italian bombings of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. Moreover, his early 20th-century cubism utilized broken-up abstract shapes that allowed him to depict subjects from multiple points of view.
