Moreover, he was the artist with whom virtually every other artist had to reckon, and there was scarcely a 20th century movement that he didnt inspire, contribute to or in the case of Cubism, which, in one of art historys great collaborations, he co-invented with Georges Braque beget. The exception, since Picasso never painted an abstract picture in his life, was abstract art; but even there his handprints lay everywhere one obvious example being his effect on the early work of American Abstract Expressionist painters, Arshile Gorky, Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, among others.
Much of the story of modern sculpture is bound up with welding and assembling images from sheet metal, rather than modeling in clay, casting in bronze or carving in wood; and this tradition of the open constructed form rather than solid mass arose from one small guitar that Picasso snipped and joined out of tin in 1912. If collage the gluing of previously unrelated things and images on a flat surface became a basic mode of modern art, that too was due to Picassos Cubist collaboration with Braque. He was never a member of the Surrealist group, but in the 1920s and 30s he produced some of the scariest distortions of the human body and the most violently irrational, erotic images of Eros and Thanatos ever committed to canvas. He was not a realist painter/reporter, still less anyones official muralist, and yet Guernica remains the most powerful political image in modern art, rivaled only by some of the Mexican work of Diego Rivera.
