Abstract

Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) is considered one of the greatest painters in the history of Western painting. The Spanish-born French painter, sculptor, and artist is also considered one of the most productive artists, having created over 50,000 works. Considering his lifespan of 92 years, it can be estimated that he produced one and a half works a day not including vacation or time off from his work (Encyclopedia of World Biography, 2011).
