Pablo Picasso is one of the most important people of 20th century when art and art movements happened. Before the age of 50, the Spanish born artist had become the most well-known name in modern art, with the most special style and eye for artistic creation. There had been no other artists like Picasso, who had such an effect on the art world, or had a large following of fans as he did.
Pablo Picasso was born in Spain in 1881, and was raised there before going on to spend most of his adult life working as an artist in France. During the whole life, he created more than 20, 000 paintings, drawings, sculptures(雕塑) and other artistic works. He is universally famous as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain. His father Ruiz was a painter and a professor of art, and felt surprised by his son’s drawing from an early age. His mother stated at one time that his first words were to ask for a pencil. At the age of seven, Picasso began receiving formal training from his father. Because of his traditional professional training, Ruiz believed training made up copying of masterworks and drawing the human form from live models.
In 1891 at ten years old, the family moved to La Coruna where School of Fine Arts paid Ruiz to be a professor. They spent four years there where Ruiz felt his son surpassed him as an artist at the age of 13 and decided to give up painting.
When Picasso died at age 91 in April 1973, he had become one of the most famous and successful artists in history. The most special is that he was able to draw modern creation on the one hand but on the other of continuing traditional lines. He is also the most fruitful genius(天才) in the history of art. His art went over a 78-year period, in which he created 13, 500 paintings, 100, 000 prints and many other famous works.
Just like William Shakespeare on literature(文学), Picasso’s effect on art is large. No one has achieved the same degree of widespread fame(名望) or showed such unbelievable skillfulness as Pablo Picasso has in the art history. Picasso’s free spirit, his strange style made him a cause for artists to follow.

B.Because he had his own free spirit and strange style.
C.Because his father was a painter and a professor of art.
D.Because he was the most fruitful genius in the history of art.

B.Picasso could draw a creation on one hand and make a sculpture on the other.
