L’expo Picasso, tableaux magiques : des tableaux rarement réunis
- Between the summer of 1926 and the spring of 1930, Pablo Picasso produced a vast set of paintings that the art critic Christian Zervos would call “magic paintings” in 1938.
- These are paintings with strange figures, in which Picasso experiments with different plastic forms.
- This is a new chapter in its creation. Here the power of “Guernica” is already announced.
- The exhibition Picasso, Magical Paintings allows the exceptional gathering of a large part of these singular works, now scattered throughout the world.
- We realize how much Picasso was inspired by the context of surrealism and the psychoanalytic currents of the early twentieth century.
- A very beautiful exhibition that presents paintings from a period that we rarely have the opportunity to see together.
