Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer who spent most of his adult life in France.

One of history's most influential artists, Pablo Picasso devoted his life to art for nearly 80 years. Throughout his long and varied career, Picasso produced more than 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, theatre sets and costumes. His innovation and genius continue to inspire beyond his time.

Picasso is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore.

The reverse features a reproduction of the painting Weeping Woman’s Head with Handkerchief [III] (1937), which is on display at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid.

The obverse has a reproduction of a portrait of Pablo Picasso in his studio at Le Fournas, Vallauris, shot by photographer Edward Quinn in 1953.
