Edition of 35. Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881-1973), a painter, sculptor, and printmaker - who also worked with ceramics and theatre design - was one of the pioneers of the Cubist movement, an early twentieth-century avant-garde art movement. Although Spanish by birth, he spent most of his adult life in France.
