This summer at the Vancouver Art Gallery, discover the most significant exhibition of the master of modernism, Picasso.
Picasso: The Artist & His Muses examines the relationship of his artwork and the six women who provided his creative inspiration. From the early 20th Century Paris through to his last year’s the exhibition delves into the evolution of this work in association with his life and loves. Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot and Jacqueline Roque, all the played a significant role in his personal life and development of his artistic endeavours.
The exhibition includes a wide variety of this work, from pencil sketches, prints, paintings, and sculpture. It’s interesting to see some of his work evolve from more true-to-life sketches to the abstract Moderism style we are usually associate with Picasso.
Picasso: The Artist & His Muses is open until October 2, 2016 at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Visit vanartgallery.bc.ca for more information
