Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picassos artistic personality undoubtedly far outstrips all other artists, power of feeling, genius for invention and the metaphysical meaning of his art- qualities which appear throghout history in the work of only the privileged few. He was concerned not only to imitate nature but to work with her, always open to fresh ideas, never closing doors; inventing himself by inventing the world. This delight in the act of paintig was inse parable from observation and curiosity at lifes political and poetic reality.
