Woman with a flower (1932)- picasso married russian ballet dancer olga koklova after falling in love with her. She, like many other women throughout his career, had an impact on his work at this time. At this period, he returned to more traditional methods, while he continued to include cubism into his work. He began sculpting at this time, and after 1927, he was heavily affected by emergent surrealism. Woman with a flower, one of his most well-known works, has a surrealist influence. Reading (1932)- picasso was enamoured with marie-therese walter and began a prolific sequence of paintings depicting her face and profile, which grew more lyrical and harmonious with time. As luscious curves and sensations of feminine sensuality began to fill the canvas once more, it represented a return to recognised signifiers of beauty. The absence of vulgarity that results is replaced with a mood of dreamy trances and self-contemplation, whether reading a book, contemplating ones reflection, or sleeping, as in another classic Asleep (1932). Pablo picasso (1881-1973) is universally renowned as one of the most influential and celebrated artists of the twentieth century in terms of art, and art movements that occurred over this period. Before the age of 50, the spanish born artist had become the most well-known name in modern art, with the most distinct style and eye for artistic creation. There had been no other artists, prior to picasso, who had such an impact on the art world, or had a mass following of fans and critics alike, as he did. Throughout the long course of his career, he created more than 20,000 paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics and other items such as costumes and theater sets.
