The name Picasso has been shrouded in legends since his birth. A little boy whose first word was "pencil". A playmaker, a bon vivant and an anti-fascist, an innovator and a classic, the author of Guernica (1937), one of the most powerful anti-war paintings in the history of mankind. Picasso's genius was universal - the most controversial artist of the 20th century worked with equal success in painting and graphics, sculpture and theater. He loved his art so much that at the end of his life he forbade his last wife to allow visitors to him: people took away the last moments that Picasso wanted to give to creativity.
