Picasso's Pivotal 1932 Explored at Tate Modern
The Tate Modern in London has launched 'Picasso 1932: Love, Fame, Tragedy', which will be on display until 9 September 2018. Curated by Laurence Madeline and Virginie Perdrisot-Cassan, this exhibition centers on the significant year of 1932 for Pablo Picasso, showcasing over 100 pieces from the Musée National Picasso and various private collections, with support from EY. Spread across ten rooms in chronological order, it reveals Picasso's artistic productivity, his relationships with wife Olga and mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter, and his rising celebrity status. Notable features include six major works created in just twelve days, three paintings honoring Walter, and an exploration of Picasso's retreat to Château de Boisgeloup.
