Born in Málaga, he painted his first picture at the age of 8: "The Yellow Picador". He soon showed an impressive ability for his age, capable of painting a large number of figures while naturally adhering to the most conservative norms of academic composition.
Picasso's style cannot be confined to a finite list, as he was not only a major contributor to the main European modernist movements, but certain trends are attributed solely to him (e.g., protocubism, blue period, and the minotaur).
Picasso's success is a melting pot of many factors: his genius, the schools where he studied (Barcelona and Paris mainly), his interest in social issues, his friendships with artists and dealers, his prolific production of paintings, innovative mindset, and leadership. Although at the end of his career he tended to paint increasingly simpler figures, verging on the abstract, his authority as an artist was unquestionable, especially due to his background in creating high-quality works. Picasso earned the right to break the rules, having mastered them perfectly.
