His prolific career is marked by several periods, each showing his ability to innovate and redefine his style. Picasso’s work is characterized by several periods, such as the Blue Period, the Rose Period, the African-influenced Period, and the Cubist Period. His groundbreaking Cubist works, made in collaboration with Georges Braque, deconstructed objects into geometric forms and transformed the visual arts. Picasso explored themes such as love, war and the human experience, and produced masterpieces like 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' and 'Guernica'.
