Few artists have shaped modern art as profoundly as Pablo Picasso. His extraordinary life and groundbreaking work continue to inspire generations of artists and art lovers alike. In celebration of his enduring legacy, the National Gallery of Ireland has joined forces with the Musée national Picasso-Paris to present a major exhibition showcasing 60 Picasso works, called Picasso: From the Studio.
The Dublin-based exhibition invites visitors to step into Picasso’s creative world, exploring the places and spaces where his iconic art took shape. It traces the artist’s diverse phases, styles, and passions, revealing how his work evolved over the course of five decades. From Cubist portraits to striking sculptures, the exhibition brings together Picasso’s iconic masterpieces alongside rarely seen works.
Visitors are invited to discover Picasso’s personal side through still-life paintings inspired by his surroundings in Avignon and the Côte d’Azur, as well as portraits of those closest to him. Among these is Marie-Thérèse, the mother of his child, rendered in a softer style compared to his sculptural forms of his other works from the same period.
“Photographic and audio-visual work will immerse visitors in his creative spaces, from rustic French farmhouses to expansive seafront villas,” says National Gallery of Ireland. “Picasso lived surrounded by his art, with his personal life and work deeply intertwined.”
