Picasso (1881–1973) was fascinated by themes of love and desire. Born in Malaga, Spain, Picasso studied art in Barcelona and Madrid. In 1904 he settled in Paris, where he became associated with avant-garde artists and writers. Picasso created paintings, sculptures, prints, ceramics, and theater designs in an unprecedented variety of styles, yielding cubist collages, neo-classical figure paintings, and expressive drawings. This exhibition included 40 etchings produced between 1966 and 1971 that are unique in their expressiveness and tonal depth.
Drawn entirely from the collection of Leslie Sacks Fine Art (Los Angeles), this exhibition was organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions.
