As a declared pacifist, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), a Spanish painter, sculptor, poet and playwright, documented the most brutal conflicts of his times: The Spanish Civil War (Guernica), the horrors of World War II (Death’s Head) and the Korean War (Massacre In Korea). His abstract experiments with form gave birth to an entirely new Cubist movement. He is now considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
