Picasso

Celebrating the genius of Pablo Picasso - painter, sculptor, engraver, ceramicist, and theatre set designer - this exhibition captures his unrelenting energy that drove him to constantly reinvent his art through a collection of his works, photographs, and videos.

Co-fondateur du cubisme, et considéré comme le père de l’art moderne, il dédia son travail à interroger la perception de la réalité, remettant en question tous les canons artistiques de son époque et bousculant les codes académiques qu’il maîtrisait à la perfection.

From his native Spain to France, where he spent most of his life, the exhibition takes you on a journey through the inside of a bullring, the lively nightlife of Parisian cabarets, the striking forms and colors of Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, and the haunting power of Guernica. In this world populated by circus performers, musicians, and muses, women and men observed through Picasso’s plural gaze transform into surreal creatures, both familiar and strange.

For this retrospective, the Atelier des Lumières becomes a vast canvas, where music and light shape an immersive encounter with Picasso’s world. The exhibition offers new insights into his immense artistic legacy, showcasing the diverse techniques he explored throughout his career.

Echoing our digital age, the perpetual evolution of his oeuvre was the primary source of inspiration for this new digital creation, produced in agreement with Picasso Administration.
