The State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts is opening the exhibition of one of the best-recognized names in the 20th-Century art – Pablo Picasso.
Now that the Picasso National Museum in Paris is closed for reconstruction, its precious collection is traveling the world.
The Picasso Museum's collection gives a unique chance to follow the evolution of the great artist’s skills and techniques, beginning from his early experiments and ending with Picasso’s latest works.
The Moscow display will show 240 works, including painting, sculpture, graphics and photography, representing all the milestone periods in the artist’s life – the blue, the pink, the cubist and the neoclassic.
It will also feature a special section dedicated to Picasso’s relationship with Russia. Here, one will find portraits of Olga Khokhlova – the Russian-Ukrainian dancer of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, best- known as Pablo Picasso’s wife – composer Igor Stravinsky, and self-portraits. The Russia-related section will also showcase the master’s designs of theatrical costumes for Diaghilev’s ballets “Parade”, “The Three-Cornered Hat” and “Pulcinella”, etudes for the curtains, and scenery.
The French collection will be accompanied with Picasso’s works from the Pushkin Museum’s archives, including “Girl on a Ball”.
The display opens on February 26 and will run through to May 23 at the State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow.
