His art reads like a storyboard of his life–each period expressing responsiveness and exploration. Picasso came from an artistic family. His father, an art professor and painter, guided Pablo's art training. Picasso began receiving honors at an early age. Each of his tumultuous relationships with women coincided with a new period of artistic experimentation. Throughout his life, he revolutionized the art world, creating in paint, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking and poetry.
