Museu Picasso Barcelona Course Explores Artist's Time in Horta de Sant Joan
The Museu Picasso Barcelona is organizing a course focusing on Pablo Picasso's stays in Horta de Sant Joan, Catalonia. The program, led by independent curator Anna Pou van den Bossche, examines how these periods in 1898 and 1909, spent with friend Manuel Pallarès and later Fernande Olivier, were pivotal for his artistic development toward Cubism. Sessions will be held in April 2026 at the Museu de Tortosa, Horta de Sant Joan, and the Museu Picasso Barcelona, including lectures and guided visits. The course aims to contextualize Picasso's claim that he learned everything in Horta. Free registration is available through the museum's website.
