Picasso's Creative Genesis Explored in Milan Exhibition
BUILDING gallery in Milan has inaugurated a new space, BUILDING TERZO PIANO, with an exhibition titled 'Un tableau me vient de loin' focusing on Pablo Picasso's preparatory drawings. The show, curated by Paolo Rusconi, features 15 works on paper dated between 1905 and 1970, exploring the origins of the artist's masterpieces. The title quotes Picasso's conversation with critic Christian Zervos, reflecting the mysterious genesis of his paintings. The exhibition reveals corrections, cancellations, and ink splatters that offer insight into Picasso's creative process. Works like 'Femme nue et guerrier' show erasures, while 'Pêcheurs' for the Oslo Palace of Justice was completely rethought on the reverse. The drawings reference influences such as Paul Cézanne's 'Bathers' and Rembrandt's 'Night Watch'. The new venue is characterized by a bright mauve wall color. Eleonora Savorelli coordinates the space, which aims to be fertile ground for new ideas.
