Picasso’s artistic talent was apparent already in his childhood and developed from his persistent sense
of discipline. Samples of his lesser known early works and selections from his decades of creations will
be discussed. We will see Picasso’ s costumes and set design for the Ballets Russes, his sculpture made
of found objects and his ceramics which reflected his wit as well as his love for animals. Above all, some
of his greatest works arose when a new woman came into his life. As Picasso aged, his partners became
younger and younger. We will see why Picasso remains among the greatest artists in history.
