Exhibition Details

　Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is unanimously acknowledged as the greatest painter of the 20th century. Picasso absorbed the art of the past and drew inspiration from his contemporaries while continually creating new and unique works. His creative and innovative art still fascinates us today.

The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, one of the world's leading cultural institutions, has a rich Picasso collection of over 800 graphic works. This exhibition focuses on selected prints from the museum's Picasso collection. The works, which include oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, and photographs, are displayed in chronological order from around 1900, when Picasso left for Paris, to 1970, three years before his death, and trace the transition of his painting style from the Blue and Rose Ages to Cubism, Neoclassicism, and Surrealism, as well as his technical experiments in printmaking. The exhibition also traces his technical experiments in printmaking and the transformation of the subjects and motifs he repeatedly painted during his lifetime. This is an excellent opportunity to experience Picasso's astonishing creativity and creative process, as well as his ability to freely change his style, from classical expression to abstract forms.
