The exhibition 'Picasso. Figure
(1895-1972)', the first part of a new project with the Picasso
Museum in Paris, will open in Verona on October 15.
The Museo Amo - Arena Museo Opera will be hosting the
exhibition, sponsored by the city council and organized by the
Arthemisia Group in collaboration with the Musée National
Picasso in Paris.
Curator is Emilie Bouvard, conservationist of the Paris
museum.
The exhibition will run through March 12, 2017, and will
present one work for each year of Pablo Picasso's life in the
period from 1895 until the 1970s.
The masterpieces include 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon'
(1907), 'The Kiss' (1931), 'La Femme qui Pleure' and 'Portrait
de Marie-Thérèse'.
Paintings, sculpture and drawings will lead the visitor
through the artist's pre-Cubist, Cubist, Classical, Surrealist
and post-war periods.
''Verona is proud to host such an event of historic
proportions,'' Mayor Flavio Tosi said.
