This piece of art is made by Pablo Picasso called  “Figure Composee I”. Pablo Picasso is arguably one of the most well known and influential artists of the 20th century Pablo Picasso created about 200 lithographs from 1945 to 1949. I like this piece of art because it is very abstract. You don't really know what it is when you first look at it. It tells it's own story. It is very unique and different. I wonder what was the real reason why he made this and what inspired. I noticed that he made the faces connect by the noses and the faces are long.
