S3 artists were learning about Picasso today. Here are some interesting facts:
He left over 43000 works of art when he died.
He lived into his 90s and was still painting right up to his death.
He is thought to be the father of Modern Art.
His famous dove painting was a actually based on a pigeon...
His original name was Pablo Ruiz (his father's name) but he decided to change this to Picasso (his mother's name) as Ruiz was far too common in Spain.
