Beloved by Picasso
the power of the model
Zusammenfassung:
- Dressed and nude. Insistent and introvert. As models and as themselves. Curvy and jagged. Observing and sleeping. Over the course of seven decades, the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) depicted the female form as a colourful metamorphosis; always full of yearning and steely will, desire and passion. ARKEN will be showing a dazzling array of Pablo Picasso's best works in the exhibition 'Beloved by Picasso - The Power of the Model'. The exhibition is created in close collaboration with Musée national Picasso-Paris and presents a total of 51 works including paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints - among these are many masterpieces from the museum's collection. Beloved by Picasso - The Power of the Model presents Pablo Picasso's artistic progression in the light of his models, and therefore the artist must share the spotlight with the five women: Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot and Jacqueline Roque. Partly translated from French. Translators: Edward Freeman, René Lauritsen. Exhibition: ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Ishøj, Denmark (12.10.2019 - 23.02.2020).
