“Picasso & Antiquity – Lines & Clay” is a new exhibition opening at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens from June 20 to October 20, 2019, ANA reports.
The exhibition features rare paintings inspired by Picasso’s philosopical relation to works of classical antiquity and is curated by Professor Nicholas Stampolidis and art curator Olivier Berggruen.
Even though most people are familiar with Picasso’s work as one of the 20th century’s greatest painters, the artist’s drawings, engravings and pottery are less well known and show a different aspect of his vision.
The exhibition aims to unveil the artist’s internal world, as formed by the books that he read, the museum exhibitions that he visited and his working relations with Jean Cocteau and art historian Christian Zervos.
