He was associated most of all with pioneering Cubism, but he also created and invented collage and made major contribution to Surrealism. Picasso is probably the most important artist of the 20th century, and also art movements that occurred during that period. Before the age of 50, the Spanish born artist had become the most well-known name in modern art, with the most distinct style and eye for artistic creation. There had been no other artists prior to Picasso, who had such an impact on the art world, or had a mass following of fans and critics alike, as he did.’
