Picasso's late work
Picasso remained a prolific artist
until late in his life, although this later period has not received universal
acclaim from historians or critics. He made variations on motifs that had
fascinated him throughout his career, such as the bullfight and the painter
and his model, the latter a theme that celebrated creativity. And he continued
to paint portraits and landscapes. Picasso also experimented with ceramics,
creating figurines, plates, and jugs, and he thereby blurred an existing distinction
between fine art and craft.
