Picasso: Etchings of Love and Desire
Love and desire are themes that fascinated the twentieth-century master Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973). Born in Malaga, Spain, Picasso studied art in Barcelona and Madrid. In 1904 he settled in Paris, where he became associated with avant-garde artists and writers. Picasso created paintings, sculptures, prints, ceramics, and theater designs in an unprecedented variety of styles, yielding cubist collages, neo-classical figure paintings, and expressive drawings.
