Shout out to Pablo Picasso

I want to give a shout out to the artist Pablo Picasso.  Though he died in 1973, his influence can still be felt today.  Picasso has had a big influence on me through his artwork.  Not only did he paint, but he also did sculpture, ceramics, drawings and printmaking.  By the time of his death he had created over 20,000 artworks. Picasso once said,

"In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish:  love must be proved by facts and not by reasons.  What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing."

Below is a painting by Picasso, called Les Demoiselles D' Avignon.  Picasso painted this picture after a visit to a museum displaying African art.  Enjoy!
