Rang 6 learned about Pablo Picasso. He is probably the most important figure of the 20th century, in terms of art, and art movements that occurred over this period. As an artist and an innovator, he is responsible for co-founding the entire Cubist movement alongside Georges Braque. Cubism was an avant-garde art movement that changed forever the face of European painting and sculpture while simultaneously affecting contemporary architecture, music and literature. Subjects and objects in Cubism are broken up into pieces and re-arranged in an abstract form. “Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.” – Pablo Picasso
