Picasso Portraits

La mostra è una co-produzione del Museo Picasso di Barcellona e della National Portrait Gallery di Londra, curata da Elizabeth Cowling. Il Museo Picasso di Barcellona è l’ultima tappa della mostra che rimarrà aperta fino al 25 giungo 2017.

This exhibition accents the importance of the portrait in Picasso’s work. It brings
together more than 80 pieces from public and private collections, revealing the
technical media and variety of styles used by Picasso in working in portraiture, which
was to always have an important place in his art.
The exhibition explores how Picasso redefined the establish parameters of the portrait
throughout his career, and the place of caricature in his portraits as well. Unlike more
professional caricaturists, who tend to focus on public personalities, Picasso’s subjects
were almost always his personal friends and those close to his family circle. In this
regard we find portraits of Dora Maar, Guillaume Apollinaire, Jean Cocteau, Nusch
Éluard, Françoise Gilot, Max Jacob, Lee Miller, Fernande Olivier, Jacqueline Roque,
Olga Khokhlova, Jaume Sabartés, Erik Satie, Igor Stravinsky, Miguel Utrillo and Marie-
Thérèse Walter, amongst others. Given that hardly any of his portraits were done on
commission, Picasso felt free to depict and interpret his subjects as he saw fit.
The show was first presented in London in October, 2016, and is closing in February
2017. It will be seen in Barcelona from the 17th March to the 25th July, 2017. Painting,
sculpture, drawing and printmaking from all Picasso periods feature in a selection with
important loans from museums from around the world, accompanied by a generous
selection of photographs and documents.
Picasso had an early gift for suggesting a subject’s character in a humorous way, while
at the same time faithfully representing those he portrayed. While always original,
Picasso was in constant dialogue with the art of the past, using formats and postures
with subtle allusions to the work of the great masters. These references are reflected in
his personal vision of physical types, the personality in question or the relationship he
himself had with those portrayed. The curator of the exhibition is Picasso specialist
Elizabeth Cowling, Professor Emeritus in the History of Art at the University of
Edinburgh.
As a complement to the exhibition a series of activities has been planned, including
enjoying vermouth while listening to actors reciting theatrical texts, illuminating the
personalities Picasso portrayed. There will also be family activities and an event
offering a musical vision of Picasso’s friendships, in collaboration with the ESMUC
music school.
