Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the sense of emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture, and paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.




Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was an artistic virtuoso who co-founded Cubism, and produced an astounding 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures during his brilliant 70-year career. Picasso`s unparalleled body of work was so vast, and its phases so unique, that art historians have divided it into spesific periods.

A child pridogy, Picasso took advanced classes at the Royal Academy of Art in Barcelona when he was only 15. His revolutionary Cubist works, with their distorted shapes and fragmented forms,, established art as a genre that does not need to literally represent reality. Zealuosly embracing every medium from primitive art to sketches to Surrealism, Picasso had unrivaled influnce upon 20th century art.
