Picasso's drawings help us to appreciate his natural, artistic talent. They were also quick ways for him to experiment with ideas, where ever he was.
As a prolific artist, Picasso liked to try out all manner of art mediums across his distinguished career. The sheer volume of artworks that he produced meant that limiting himself to one medium would have curtailed his creative spark sonner or later.
Across his career, topics drawn by Picasso included still life, portraits, animals and mythology.
