List of Paintings Done by Picasso in 1928
Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881, in Malaga, Spain. He lived until April 8, 1973, when he passed away in Mougins, France. At age 16, after attending the Madrid Academy of Fine Arts, Picasso felt he was not improving in his art career with a formal classic art education. Picasso became known as the the boy-genius who had grown disinterested in classical art. This is where his passion for abstract art began, which led to the creation of five pieces of art in 1928.

Measuring 28 x 23 inches, this oil painting uses few colors and, with the exception of the human face and creature, contains a lot of straight lines and right angles.
