PICASSO
Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Co-founder of Cubism, he constantly reinvented his style, producing groundbreaking works across painting, sculpture, ceramics, and printmaking. From his early Blue and Rose Periods to the radical abstraction of Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and the political power of Guernica, Picasso’s art blended innovation, emotion, and mastery, leaving an enduring mark on modern art.

Title:Harlequin and Woman with a Necklace
Artist: Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973)
Medium: Wool Tapestry
Dimensions: 265 × 202 cm
