Royal Academy offers meditative video tour of Picasso and Paper exhibition
The Royal Academy of Arts in London, closed due to the health emergency, has released a high-quality online experience on its YouTube channel: a video tour of the exhibition "Picasso and Paper." The slow-paced, prolonged video simulates a real walk through the galleries, including readings of wall texts and labels. The exhibition, organized in collaboration with the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Musée national Picasso-Paris, explores Pablo Picasso's (1881-1973) deep engagement with paper. It features over 300 works spanning nearly eighty years of his career, including preparatory studies for Guernica, collages, letters, sketches, and watercolors.
