Picasso's artistic style was influenced by various factors, including his exposure to different cultures and movements. His Cubist phase was significantly inspired by African art, which transformed his approach to forms and perspectives. Additionally, Picasso's interest in Surrealism and Symbolism pushed him to explore deeper emotional and psychological themes in his work. His early experiences in Spain, coupled with periods spent in Paris, exposed him to revolutionary art movements. These influences culminated in a diverse body of work characterized by distinctive styles, such as Blue and Rose periods, reflecting his emotional landscapes and rich cultural engagement.
