Apart from being an exceptional painter and the father of Cubism (along with Georges Braque), Pablo
Picasso was also one of the best draftsmen on the 20th century.
To Pablo
Picasso, sketches served as mean of discovery and engagement with
masters from the past that in many ways contributed to the creation and
the development of his unique art style. In his later years, Pablo
Picasso developed a single line drawing technique that was able to
depict the very essence of his subject matter in only one opened line.
