"What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war."
Pablo Picasso was a Spanish artist whose work transformed modern art through movements including Cubism. His prolific output across painting, sculpture, and printmaking made him one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
