Picasso pioneered Cubism along with painter Georges Braque, the term coming from its depiction of figures and places in geometric forms. Over the course of his career, which lasted until age 91, he created over 20,000 pieces of art in a wide range of media and styles, including paintings, sculptures, collages, ceramics and even theater sets and costumes. By age 23 he moved to Paris, then the art capital of Europe, where he found success fairly quickly. Pablo Picasso was born in Málaga, Spain in 1881. Picasso was a fan of, and influenced by, The Katzenjammer Kids.
