Paris cultural season has just started and one of the major events is the exhibition Picasso.mania at Grand Palais.
The exhibition is chronologically and thematically structured, which makes it easier for the visitor to observe the different phases and styles of Picasso’s career as well as the growth of his popularity and the myth built up around his name.
Altogether there are 400 works exhibited. And the big news of this exhibition is the presentation of 300 works by contemporary artists around the world who have reproduced and interpreted his image and some of his most emblematic creations. These are not just paintings, engravings and sculptures, but also movies, songs and advertisements.
There are also 100 works by Picasso that came from Pompidou and Picasso museums (both in Paris) and from family’s personal collection. It is interesting to observe how paintings are displayed side by side on the walls, just like the artists of the Cubist movement – which Picasso is one of the creators – liked to present their works.
Picasso.mania is impeccable, dynamic, stunning! Although it has many multimedia features, the curator did an awesome job on keeping the focus on what really matters: the genius of Pablo Picasso.
The exhibition will run from October 7th to February 29th 2016.
I reccomend you to buy tickets in advance on the official website to avoid long lines! Unmissable!
