Depressed over a friend’s tragic death, 20-year-old Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) painted the solemn “Blue Nude.” Part of his “Blue Period” artworks, and early evidence of his talent, it was one of 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings and sculptures he created in his lifetime. A best-seller, the simplistic beauty of “Blue Nude” lies within Picasso’s ability to express deep emotions with only one color.

About the Artist

Artistic genius Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) co-founded Cubism and produced a monumental 20,000 artworks during his 70-year career. Picasso’s torrential outpouring of work was so extensive and complex that art historians have divided it into individual periods. A prodigy in his youth, Picasso enrolled in advanced classes at Barcelona’s Royal Academy of Art at age 15. The strong geometric forms of his groundbreaking Cubist works redefined art as a medium that could digress from literal images of reality. Passionately creative in every genre from primitive art to sketches to Surrealism, Picasso profoundly impacted 20th century art.
