Masterpieces, Exhibition, Picasso Museum, Paris: 4 September 2018-13 January 2019

This cubist artist needs no introduction as his name and talent precedes him. Often described as one of the most influential artists of the 20th Century, Picasso has many masterpieces. The Musee Picasso do not simply wish to dedicate a space to unite these masterpieces but to investigate “What does “masterpiece” mean to Pablo Picasso?”.

Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in Malaga, Spain, to father (also a fellow painter) Jose Ruiz Blasco, who cultivated Picasso’s early talent. Picasso attended The Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid before settling in Paris in 1904. Picasso’s style transitioned from Neo-Impressionism, to the Blue Period and Rose period, before arriving at the Cubist style he is most remembered for today.

By presenting Picasso’s mastery alongside critical reception, the museum hopes to provide an invigoratingly fresh perspective to the believed-to-be-exhausted interpretations of Picasso’s work.
