This exhibition delves into Pablo Picasso's intimate graphic series, 'La Suite Vollard,' created between 1930 and 1937. It explores themes of art, transformation, passion, and guilt through various sections, including the Sculptor's Studio and the Minotaur mythology, reflecting Picasso's personal and artistic journey during a significant period.
Focusing on the 'La Suite Vollard' collection, a cycle of one hundred graphics produced between 1930 and 1937, this exhibition offers an intimate look at Pablo Picasso as a timeless artist. The series is divided into sections such as Miscellaneous, Sculptor's Studio, Battle of Love, Minotaurus, Rembrandt, Blind Minotaur, and Portraits of Ambroise Vollard. The 'Sculptor's Studio' section, depicting themes of art and creation, transitions into a more turbulent exploration of the Minotaur. The presence of Picasso's lover, Marie-Therese Walter, is notable, as is Picasso's self-comparison to Phidias as a symbol of art and technical perfection. The exhibition highlights the connection between sensuality, sex, and art within the artist's studio. The Minotaur is presented as Picasso's new image of transformation, embodying the passion and guilt central to the exhibition's theme. The 1930s, a decade of success and fame for Picasso, also ended with personal tragedy and the looming cataclysm of war, as reflected in his work. The exhibition contextualizes Picasso as an artist of constant transformation, whose work continues to resonate in contemporary times, inviting visitors into the labyrinth of 'La Suite Vollard' to explore the depths of art and knowledge.
This exhibition took place from September 15, 2018, to January 27, 2019. Information about ticketing for past exhibitions is not available on this page.
