Between 1925 and 1934, after his "classical" period, a great part of Picasso’s work was called "Surrealist."
Whether or not he was a Surrealist is a discussion that will never end. However, what is true is that he was a reference artist of the movement, to the point that Breton (leader of the group and who wrote the Manifesto of Surrealism in the year 24), invited him to participate in several exhibitions (including the first exhibition organized by the movement) and Picasso accepted.
We can say that Picasso was never "entirely Surrealist", and that his relationship with the movement was rather formal: with his distorted, voluminous, nightmarish figures.
