Perhaps the most influential artist of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso may be best known for pioneering Cubism and fracturing the two-dimensional picture plane in order to convey three-dimensional space. Inspired by African and Iberian art, he also contributed to the rise of Surrealism and Expressionism. Picasso’s sizable oeuvre grew to include over 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures,ceramics, theater sets, and costume designs. He painted his most famous work, Guernica (1937), in response to the Spanish Civil War; the totemic grisaille canvas remains a definitive work of anti-war art. At auction, a number of Picasso’s paintings have sold for more than $100 million. The indefatigable artist has been the subject of exhibitions at the world’s most prestigious institutions, from the Museum of Modern Art and Centre Pompidou to the Stedelijk Museum and Tate Modern.

“The horse world I grew up riding and competing in central California was so horribly sexist; girls and women were often seen only as sexual objects, not as talented riders and trainers,” recalls Penelope Whitney who is inspired by the story of Charley Parkhurst, aka One-Eyed Charley. Celebrated as a stagecoach driver during the Gold Rush, it was discovered after his death that Parkhurst was biologically female., 2018
