One of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, Picasso's oeuvre encompasses nearly twenty thousand artworks, transcending all attempts at categorization. On view are works in various mediums, which span the breadth of his diverse and prolific output.
It was Picasso's maverick ability to expand the vocabulary of modern aesthetics, including non-traditional influences while legitimizing new media, which ushered in a new era in art. On view are paintings, drawings, and terracotta sculptures that attest to the enduring appeal of his restless virtuosity. Paintings such as Le Petit Picador (1889), Nature morte à la guitar (1924), Marie-Thérèse a la Guirlande (1937) Femme endormie, symphonie en gris (1943) Portrait d'enfant: Paloma (1952) are exhibited alongside robust ceramics such as Centaure (recto) Feuillage (verso) (1952) and Scène tauromachique (1952); as well as ink drawings such as Enfant jouant au train (1ère partie et 2ème partie) (1950) and Le Laboureur céleste (1950).
This exhibition will coincide with "Picasso at Work: Through the Lense of David Douglas Duncan," an exhibition celebrating the historic friendship between the American photographer and the artist.
