Features: Among all the painters active in the 20th century, none could completely bypass the path opened by Picasso. He once said, "When we work with a forgetful spirit, sometimes what we do tends to naturally gravitate toward us. Don't worry too much about various things, as they will naturally or coincidentally come to you. I think even death would be the same!" Picasso had no fixed ideas and was diverse, passionate or erratic, likable yet detestable, sincere yet feigned, changing constantly and unpredictable. But he remained loyal to freedom forever. In his artistic journey, there were no set rules. 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, finding only absolute freedom suitable for him.
