BARCELONA PICASSO MUSEUM |
||
The name Picasso is inextricably linked with Barcelona, the city where the Malagan artist spent his adolescence and young adulthood. This makes the Museu Picasso an essential visit for anyone wanting to find out about the artist's formative years. This exceptional museum, which is housed in five Gothic mansions, features his early works and those of the Blue Period, and contains the extraordinary Las Meninas series, Picasso's highly personal homage to Velazquez's masterpiece. The museum also focuses on another interesting facet of this unique and innovative artist: his skill as a ceramicist. JEAN HELION Painting against the tide End of March - June 2005 Jean Helion (1904-1987) had one of the most atypical artistic careers: he was a follower of the most radical abstract movements in the thirties, and the end of his political utopias led him to figurative art, just when abstract painting had become firmly established. The Museu Picasso presents a retrospective featuring 80 of his works from the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
