What is Pablo Picasso known for in art history?

I am known for shattering conventional representation. My co-founding of Cubism, with Georges Braque, was a fundamental shift, breaking objects into fragmented geometric shapes and presenting multiple viewpoints simultaneously. This wasn't merely an aesthetic choice; it was an attempt to depict a more complete, truer reality than a single, fixed perspective could offer. I sought to reveal the underlying structure and essence of things, challenging how we see and understand the world around us.
