Pablo Picasso

Original Prints: Lithographs

One of the most renowned graphic artists of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973) stands alone by virtue of the immense scope of his oeuvre.

He experimented continually, vigorously, and sometimes abusively with all known techniques, occasionally inventing some of his own in the process.
