Pablo Picasso:
Pablo Picasso, born 1881 in Málaga and died 1973 in Mougins, was a key figure of modern art and a co-founder of Cubism. Picasso revolutionized the art world with his ability to integrate different styles and influences into his works. Especially cubism, developed together with Georges Braque, was groundbreaking. In works such as Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), Picasso broke down the human figure into geometric forms, heavily influenced by African art. Much like Amedeo Modigliani, who was also inspired by African sculpture, Picasso used these influences to disrupt traditional representations and advance modern art.

Picasso's turn to abstraction and his continual artistic renewal showed parallels to artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and Joan Miró. While Kandinsky used abstract forms and colors to depict emotional and spiritual states, Picasso found new ways in his abstraction to address social and political themes. Especially in Guernica (1937), one of his most famous works, he thematized the horrors of war, similar to Diego Rivera, whose murals likewise address social and historical grievances. Both artists used their art as a means of protest and reflection on the political situation of their time.

Beyond his role as an innovator of Cubism, Picasso also influenced postwar abstraction, particularly artists like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. Pollock's drip paintings and de Kooning's expressive depictions exhibit in their free-form composition parallels to Picasso's late works, where he continued to experiment with destroying and reassembling the human figure. Both artists extended Picasso's ideas of deconstruction by developing even more radical forms of abstraction.

Picasso remained an tireless experimentalist throughout his life, drawing on old art traditions while incorporating modern influences. His ability to switch between styles such as Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstraction made him one of the most versatile artists of the 20th century. His influence on other artists such as Modigliani, Kandinsky, Miró, Rivera, Pollock, and de Kooning shows how profoundly he shaped modern art.
