Features: Every painter active in the 20th century could not have avoided Picasso's path of advancement. He once said: "When we work with a selfless spirit, sometimes what we do naturally tends to us. Don't worry too much about various things, because they will naturally or accidentally come to us. I think even death will be the same!" Picasso: He had no fixed ideas and was diverse, passionate or erratic, likable and detestable, sincere or feigned, appealing yet repulsive, unpredictable and elusive. But he remained loyal to freedom. His artistic journey had no set pattern. He moved from naturalism to expressionism, from classicism to romanticism, and then returned to realism. From figurative to abstract, coming and going, he opposed all constraints and the sacred views of the universe, believing only absolute freedom suited him.
