Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright Pablo Picasso, (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was undoubtedly a man of many talents.
Picasso worked in a spectacular array of styles. His constantly changing aesthetic approach is evident in his series of self-portraits. The self-portraits Pablo Picasso painted from age 15 to age 90 are drastically different. In some of his portraits he looks like the same guy, but others appear like someone (or something) else entirely.

Picasso’s last well-known self portrait is called, somewhat aptly, Self Portrait Facing Death. He drew it with crayon on paper in 1972, less than a year before his death. Picasso worked right up until the day he died, aged 91, painting until 3am on Sunday, April 8th, just hours before he passed away
