What does a masterpiece mean to Pablo Picasso?
The exhibition “Picasso: Masterpieces!” answers this question by bringing together many of Picasso’s greatest works, some of which will be shown in Paris for the first time. Thanks to exceptional loans, masterpieces from collections all over the world will be displayed alongside those from the Musée National Picasso – Paris.
This assembled collection offers a new look at Picasso’s creativity with particular attention to the critical reception of his work. It explores the exhibitions, articles, and publications that accompanied the artworks and that helped forge their reputation as masterpieces over the years. The Musée national Picasso – Paris archives play an essential role in telling this story.
