Pablo Picasso Antique Rugs and Carpets

Pablo Picasso The abstract figures and cubist works of Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881 -1973) are among the most recognizable and well known works in 20th century art. Born in the Andalusian region of Spain, Picasso was the son of an art professor. However, stories suggest his father felt Picasso surpassed his artistic abilities at age 13. Picasso is best-known for the abstract cubist style he helped to develop during his career in France. Although he did not create designs specifically for carpets, 15 unique works produced in his Montrouge studio were reproduced by the gallery owner and patron Marie Cuttoli.
