Art by Pablo Picasso

SHAPE OF MY HEART marries the complex lyrics of pop icon Sting with the mesmerizing images of Pablo Picasso, perhaps the greatest artist of the twentieth century.

PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) is acknowledged as one of the most dynamic and influential artists of the twentieth century. He worked tirelessly throughout his long life, experimenting with a number of different artistic mediums and styles. Widely collected and featured in major museums the world over, his works include many masterpieces of contemporary art history: Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), Still Life with Chair Caning (1912), and Guernica (1937), to name a few.
