Happy Birthday, Pablo Picasso!

Posted on Oct 25, 2012

Pablo Picasso was born on this day in 1881 and, in addition to creating masterpieces throughout his lifetime, became the subject matter of many a master photographer as well.  Celebrate what would have been his 131st birthday by taking a peak at the artist himself as seen through the eyes of his contemporaries.
