One of the greatest, most prolific, and most creative painters of the 20th century, he produced paintings, prints, ceramics, and sculptures. Picasso museums can be found in Madrid, Paris, and Antibes, and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne also houses many of his works. Many museums competed to acquire Picasso's art.
