  • Pablo Picasso, Published by Christian Zervos, Which Places the Painter of the Demoiselles Davignon in the Context of His Own Work
    PRESS KIT PICASSO 1932 Exhibition 10 October 2017 to 11 February 2018 ANNÉE ÉROTIQUE En partenariat avec Exposition réalisée grâce au soutien de 2 PICASSO 1932 ANNÉE ÉROTIQUE From 10 October to the 11 February 2018 at Musée national Picasso-Paris The first exhibition dedicated to the work of an artist from January 1 to December 31, the exhibition Picasso 1932 will present essential masterpieces in Picassos career as Le Rêve (oil on canvas, private collection) and numerous archival documents that place the creations of this year in their context. This event, organized in partnership with the Tate Modern in London, invites the visitor to follow the production of a particularly rich year in a rigorously chronological journey. It will question the famous formula of the artist, according to which the work that is done is a way of keeping his journal? which implies the idea of a coincidence between life and creation. Among the milestones of this exceptional year are the series of bathers and the colorful portraits and compositions around the figure of Marie-Thérèse Walter, posing the question of his works relationship to surrealism. In parallel with these sensual and erotic works, the artist returns to the theme of the Crucifixion while Brassaï realizes in December a photographic reportage in his workshop of Boisgeloup. 1932 also saw the museification of Picassos work through the organization of retrospectives at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris and at the Kunsthaus in Zurich, which exhibited the Spanish painter to the public and critics for the first time since 1911. The year also marked the publication of the first volume of the Catalog raisonné of the work of Pablo Picasso, published by Christian Zervos, which places the painter of the Demoiselles dAvignon in the context of his own work.

  • Museu Picasso Presents Picasso/Dalí, Dalí/Picasso, the First Exhibition to Explore the Relationship Between Both Artists
    Press Release THE MUSEU PICASSO PRESENTS PICASSO/DALÍ, DALÍ/PICASSO, THE FIRST EXHIBITION TO EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BOTH ARTISTS Organised by the Museu Picasso with The Dalí Museum in Saint Petersburg, Florida, in collaboration with the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí in Figueres, this show examines the relationship between Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí—one of the most decisive crossroads in the history of 20th-century art Dalí felt admiration for Picasso dating back to before they had even met, when the young Dalí was making his first avant-garde forays in the early 1920’s The show includes works rarely seen in Europe, including Salvador Dalí’s Portrait of My Sister and Profanation of the Host, and 29 pieces by the two artists that will only be seen in Barcelona Barcelona, 19 March 2015. The Museu Picasso and The Dalí Museum in Saint Petersburg, Florida, have worked with the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí in Figueres and more than 25 art museums and private collectors worldwide to put on the first exhibition to analyse the relationship between Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. The show sheds light on their highly productive relationship and reveals its high points and contradictions. “We didn’t set out to show that these two artists are in some way similar, but to help visitors get a better understanding of them,” says the show’s co-curator, William Jeffett, from The Dalí Museum. The idea is to let visitors see work by both artists in a fresh light by showing where their paths crossed. The exhibition reveals that after Dalí visited Picasso at his studio in Paris, his work underwent a tremendous experimental shift: he quickly went from merely “analysing” Picasso’s work to fashioning his own, fully Surrealist artistic language.

  • Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881 - 1973)
    Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881 - 1973) Pablo Picasso is considered to be the greatest artist of the 20th century, the Grand Master primo assoluto of Modernism, and a singular force whose work and discoveries in the realm of the visual have informed and influenced nearly every artist of the 20th century. It has often been said that an artist of Picasso’s genius only comes along every 500 years, and that he is the only artist of our time who stands up to comparison with da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael – the grand triumvirate of the Italian Renaissance. Given Picasso’s forays into Symbolism, Primitivism, neo-Classicism, Surrealism, sculpture, collage, found-object art, printmaking, and post-WWII contemporary art, art history generally regards his pioneering of Cubism to have been his landmark achievement in visual phenomenology. With Cubism, we have, for the first time, pictorial art on a two-dimensional surface (paper or canvas) which obtains to the fourth dimension – namely the passage of Time emanating from a pictorial art. If Picasso is the ‘big man on campus’ of 20th century Modernism, it’s because his analysis of subjects like figures and portraits could be ‘shattered’ cubistically and re-arranged into ‘facets’ that visually revolved around themselves, giving the viewer the experience of seeing a painting in the round – all 360º – as if a flat work of art were a sculpture, around which one walks to see its every side. Inherent in sculpture, it was miraculous at the time that Picasso could create this same in-the-round effect in painting and drawing, a revolution in visual arts and optics.
