This exhibition delves into Pablo Picasso's pivotal year of 1906, examining his creative output as a distinct period with its own aesthetic significance. It explores his early, yet mature, artistic criteria and his exploration of the body, form, and interculturality.
The exhibition 'Picasso 1906. La gran transformación' aims to re-evaluate the artist's work from 1906, viewing it not merely as a transition between his Rose Period and 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon', but as a period of distinct importance in his creative evolution. At the age of 25, Picasso, though still young, was already a mature artist with defined aesthetic principles. Leaving behind bohemianism and pessimism, he embraced a vital, expansive, and even sensual approach. He moved towards libertarian ideas and sought to redefine artistic experience. Supported by dealers and collectors, and connected with a powerful group of contemporary creators, Picasso was deeply engaged in the 'processual' nature of his work, pursuing 'primordial' concepts and developing his art across three key registers: the body, form, and interculturality.
