Picasso's Hidden Portrait


Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973) was a Spanish artist, renowned for his contribution to Modern Art. He and fellow artist Georges Braque created the art-movement referred to as Cubism, a ground-breaking style of art that simplified and broke reality down into flat planes and sharp edges. This movement is commonly referred to as a forerunner of abstraction, where reality is completely broken down and simplified into shapes and colour.
Pablo Picasso is without doubt, one of the most famous artists of all time. Today, I found an article about one of his paintings 'The Blue Room', where a previously unseen portrait has been discovered underneath the painting itself. This mystery portrait was lying under the layers of paint that made up 'The Blue Room'.
