He dominated Western art in the 20th century. Before his 50th birthday he was considered to be the public symbol of art. In his 75-year career he created thousands of paintings, sculptures, prints, and ceramics. He almost single handedly created modern art. The artist I am speaking of is Pablo Picasso. My interest in selecting the topic is because Pablo Picasso revolutionized art, and no other artist has had such a massive following. Many artists before him had only a few hundred followers that mainly consisted of the upper class of society. Picasso's audience has been somewhere in the millions. One reason why you should be interested in my topic is because many of us only know Pablo Picasso as just a name. Within my speech I will be speaking about Pablo Picasso's life, his two signature paintings, and his impact on the art world.
Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881 in Malaga, Spain where his uncle supposedly saved him from suffocation at birth by blowing cigar smoke in his face to make him cry.

At age 14, he completed the one-month examination of the Academy of Fine Arts in Barcelona in one day.
