Summary
A personal view of Picasso and Paper, a major exhibition at the Royal Academy.
The collection of over 300 works covers drawings, collages, and prints.
With key paintings, including precocious and magneti examples from the artist’s childhood in Malàga; academic drawings; early works in Paris, Horta del Ebro, and Gosol; introduction to the Blue and Rose periods, leading to the revolutionary development of Cubism; the iconoclastic masterpiece Les Demoiselles d'Avignon; his designs for Parade in 1917 by Eric Satie; the Neoclassical period of the 1920s; and works for the Resistance during the war years of 1939-45.
The postwar move to the South of France shows an unceasing prolific invention, exploring themes of life, love, and memory, and culminating in the stark self-portrait during his last days. The whole body of work constitutes a consistent and critical formation of pictorial fact.
