Pablo Picasso 1892 - 1906 |
The most celebrated artist of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso was a prodigy whose virtuosity, imagination and expressive power were evident long before he reached the age of 20.
Picasso was only 20 when he painted the self portrait above. He presents himself as a romantic bohemian figure, a moody young artist who fixes the viewer with an almost hipnotic stare.
