Pablo Picasso was a pioneer of Spanish Cubism. In addition to painting, he left behind many outstanding works in fields such as sculpture and printmaking. Picasso never insisted on rejecting the pressures of contemporary human civilization events, nor did he deny the drive and inspiration of emotions. He neither disguised himself nor changed his nature; he remained true to himself, always maintaining his fierce, untamed passion and extraordinary charm and enthusiasm. Never having painted from real-life subjects, Picasso once said, "I am not searching; I am discovering." He was determined to "break" all artistic conventions. In his lifetime, he created as many as 60,000 to 80,000 works. Representative works include "The Avignon Girls" and "Guernica," among others.
