On October 25th, 1881, Pablo Picasso was born in Magala, Spain. The world of art was forever changed that day. From paintings to poetry, you name it; Picasso has probably dabbled in it.
In his early life, Picasso was raised Catholic, but would convert to atheism as an adult. His father was an artist and trained Picasso in oil painting and figure drawing.
When Picasso was fourteen, his seven-year-old sister, Conchita, passed away from diphtheria, an upper respiratory tract illness.

He also drew a series of nudes of a stripper that were never released. I even found out that while one of his lovers fell ill with tuberculosis, he would visit her and take care of her but in-between be sleeping with another mistress.
The drawing I’m doing is the linear drawing of Igor Stravinsky. It has nothing to do with his numerous mistresses or anything like that. Actually, not much is documented about this drawing other than the sketch was taken back to Switzerland by Stravinsky and was misconstrued as a spy plan.
Despite all of these extra-marital activities and the way he treated women, Picasso was and still is looked at as one of the best revolutionary artists of the 20th century and possibly of all time. With his unique style and innovative mind, it’s no wonder he came up with so many styles of art.
By the time of his death in France in April of 1973, at the age of 91, Picasso had created a mind blowing 22.000 works of art in a variety of forms including sculpture, ceramics, mosaics, stage design and graphic
