- Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Born in 1881 in Málaga, Spain, he demonstrated artistic talent from a young age, studying art in Barcelona and Madrid. Picasso’s career spanned multiple periods, each marked by distinct styles, including his Blue Period, Rose Period, and the invention of Cubism, which he developed alongside Georges Braque. This innovation in modern art broke traditional perspectives, using fragmented shapes and forms to depict subjects from multiple angles at once.

Picasso's artworks are among the most valuable in the world, with pieces often selling for millions of dollars at auction. His paintings are celebrated for their bold colors, innovative techniques, and deep psychological insight, reflecting his fascination with both form and emotion.

One of Picasso's most famous works, Le Rêve (The Dream), was created in 1932 and is a portrait of his muse and lover, Marie-Thérèse Walter. This piece is known for its sensual, dreamlike quality and vibrant colors. The composition showcases a reclining woman, with abstract shapes and curving lines capturing her in a state of repose. It exemplifies Picasso's fascination with simplifying forms and exploring eroticism. Le Rêve became iconic, not only for its artistic value but also for its record-breaking price; it sold for $155 million in a private sale in 2013, emphasizing Picasso's lasting impact on the art market and the high demand for his masterpieces.
