Mr. Picassohead – The Life of Pablo Picasso
Stumbling through the Internet the other day, I came across this pretty funny site, mrpicassohead.com where you can create your own abstract caricatures just like the modern master himself. It is pretty fun, and a good way to waste a few minutes of time. Try it out! Create something funny. Heck, maybe it will help inspire you for your next painting or other amazing work of art. Sometimes it’s just those goofy things (like the dog who had a run-in with a blow-dryer) that really set us apart and help us through the day.
While we’re on the subject, we thought we’d give you a brief bio and let you know a little bit about the man who helped change how many of us experience, interpret, understand and create art.
Pablo Picasso is one of the most prolific painters of Modern Art whose influence continues to charge through and affect even contemporary artistic styles. Picasso is best known for his role in founding the artistic movement known as Cubism, which sought to break natural (perceived) images down to their universal, geometrical form. Cubism demolished the intricate differences to display only the universal. As one of the most famous artists of all time, Picasso continues to inspire and challenge artists around the world.
Take a look! You can continue reading about the life and biography of Pablo Picasso to find out more about some of his other major artistic contributions.

Yep, Pablo Picasso was a man of deep contradictions. Pablo Picasso was a self avowed communist. However, Picasso was also one of the world’s wealthiest artists, leaving his heirs an estate valued at $260 million ($1.5 billion in 2008 dollars) when he died in 1973.Pablo Picasso once remarked, ‘I like to live like a poor man, except with lots of money’. Ha-ha
Pablo Picasso was also one of the most prolific artists of the last century. During his 78 year career Pablo Picasso produced 13,500 paintings, 100,000 prints and engravings, 34,000 illustrations and 300 sculptures – constituting a total of 147,800 works of art! Wow!
