Las tres muestras, como piezas de una misma narración, se han ido sucediendo una tras otra a lo largo del pasado año, y ahora es el turno de presentar la última de ellas. Exposiciones programadas: El Museu Picasso, 50 años en Barcelona. Los orígenes Del 9 de marzo al 9 de junio de 2013 El Museu Picasso, 50 años en Barcelona.

Exposición Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, 1988. Museu Picasso, Barcelona. Fotógrafo: desconocido La muestra El Museu Picasso, 50 años en Barcelona. Las exposiciones, es una propuesta eminentemente documental que hace un repaso por lo que han sido las 79 exposiciones organizadas por el Museu desde el punto de vista de su importancia para la difusión de la obra del artista y las vanguardias históricas relacionadas con él (artistas, movimientos y periodos artísticos). Como ya sucedió con las dos muestras anteriores, el trabajo realizado se ha materializado en dos interactivos que se presentan en las salas: . La instalación de una pantalla interactiva permitirá al público consultar la ficha informativa de cada una de las 79 exposiciones. En estas fichas se ha recopilado su información básica: título, comisario, organizador, fechas de realización, descripción, número de obras, datos del catálogo y obras destacadas, así como su imagen y la del catálogo. Se trata de una recopilación exhaustiva que permitirá una visión amplia del contenido y la evolución de las exposiciones temporales. Para poder desarrollar sus proyectos, el Museu ha establecido lazos estrechos con reconocidas Instituciones artísticas. La colaboración con estas instituciones y coleccionistas particulares ha hecho posible la presentación de todas las exposiciones que se han podido visitar en el Museu Picasso. Como agradecimiento a todos ellos se ha instalado una pantalla que cita y localiza geográficamente un total de 112 instituciones colaboradoras habituales durante estos 50 años. El contenido de la primera de estas herramientas formará parte del proyecto global de interactivo iniciado con esta celebración que incluirá toda la información recopilada y la investigación realizada en torno estas tres muestras y que permitirá compartir con los ciudadanos la historia del Museu. En el otoño del 2014, el interactivo La trayectoria del Museu Picasso, Barcelona se integrará al Centro de Referencia Picassiana on-line de Museu y será una plataforma de consulta e investigación muy completa sobre el Museu y su trayectoria. 2. TERCERA EXPOSICIÓN: El Museu Picasso, 50 años en Barcelona. Las exposiciones En sus 50 años de vida el Museu ha presentado 79 exposiciones temporales que han difundido principalmente la obra de Picasso, pero también de otros artistas relacionados con él. El Museu Picasso, 50 años en Barcelona. Las exposiciones es un viaje por estas muestras y, por tanto, por la prolífica trayectoria de Pablo Picasso, sus referentes y los diversos artistas coetáneos que se han podido ver en nuestro museo. Las diversas exposiciones presentadas en el Museu Picasso han ofrecido al público de nuestra ciudad la posibilidad de disfrutar de obras capitales de Pablo Picasso y de conocer la evolución de su arte en las diferentes disciplinas en que trabajó a lo largo de sus 91 años de vida, desde la pintura a la escultura o el dibujo, pasando por el grabado, los papiers collées y otras técnicas. Obras de juventud, de la época azul, de la época rosa, cubistas, neoclasicistas, surrealistas y de la última época se han presentado en todos estos años en el marco de las exposiciones dedicadas al conocimiento de su obra, y han dado una amplia visión del significado, la importancia y la transcendencia de la obra de Pablo Picasso. Por otro lado, el conjunto de muestras dedicadas a otros artistas y movimientos artísticos en estas cinco décadas también ha ofrecido al espectador una perspectiva clara del arte del siglo XX, fuertemente influido por profundos y acelerados cambios sociales, científicos y tecnológicos.

    PICASSO LES LIVRES d’ARTISTE The collection of Mr. A*** collection ofThe Mr. d’artiste livres Les PICASSO PICASSO Les livres d’artiste The collection of Mr. A*** Author’s note Years ago, at the University of Washington, I had the opportunity to teach a class on the ”Late Picasso.” For a specialist in nineteenth-century art, this was a particularly exciting and daunting opportunity, and one that would prove formative to my thinking about art’s history. Picasso does not allow for temporalization the way many other artists do: his late works harken back to old masterpieces just as his early works are themselves masterpieces before their time, and the many years of his long career comprise a host of “periods” overlapping and quoting one another in a form of historico-cubist play that is particularly Picassian itself. Picasso’s ability to engage the art-historical canon in new and complex ways was in no small part influenced by his collaborative projects. It is thus with great joy that I return to the varied treasures that constitute the artist’s immense creative output, this time from the perspective of his livres d’artiste, works singularly able to point up his transcendence across time, media, and culture. It is a joy and a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible collection, and I am very grateful to Mr. A***, and to Umberto Pregliasco and Filippo Rotundo for the opportunity to contribute to this fascinating project. The writing of this catalogue is indebted to the work of Sebastian Goeppert, Herma Goeppert-Frank, and Patrick Cramer, whose Pablo Picasso.

  • 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.

    La relación del toro con los hombres siempre inspiró a los artistas a lo largo de la historia, desde las pinturas rupestres más antiguas hasta la obra de pintores y escultores del siglo XXI. Con diferentes contextos, estilos, intenciones o significados, los tres protagonistas de esta muestra, han representado plásticamente la pasión y dramática intensidad de las corridas taurinas mediante sus diversas miradas. Francisco de Goya, considerado como un precursor de la Modernidad, realizó su serie de grabados mostrando una visión histórica de la tauro- maquia en España; Pablo Picasso, creador del cubismo, fue aficionado a los toros desde su infancia y transformó esas escenas en temas centrales de su obra; Salvador Dalí, uno de los máximos representantes del Surrealismo, sintió fascinación por el mundo del toreo y elaboró sus imágenes en clave surrealista. Cultura, ritual y tradición. Más allá del debate, la pasión o la controversia, la muestra brinda la oportunidad de acercarse a las múltiples lecturas que ofrece el tema, apreciando de manera conjunta la obra de tres exponentes fundamentales del arte universal.

  • Pablo Picasso Wrote No Book of Essays Or Any Treatise on Painting
    PICASSO IN CONVERSATION . Pablo Picasso wrote no book of essays or any treatise on painting. His thoughts, concerns, criticism and values are sufficiently clear in his work – most of which was in creative arts and occasionally in written pieces (poetry, plays, letters and dedications). For a summary of his thoughts we need therefore to consult the written records of those who knew him best, of the researchers who peronally met him, of the friends who loved him. Here is a selection of Picasso’s sayings expressed in conversations, meetings, interviews and collections in different bibliographic material. All of them may be looked up at the Barcelona Picasso Museum library (by prior appointment only). BARCELONA . “There is where it all began...
