Picasso at the grand palais - PARIS



Picasso

Pablo Ruiz Picasso is regarded as the greatest artist of the 20th century. He is the author of a vast number of works in different formats (paintings, sculptures, prints, ceramics, etc.). Moreover, he was able to take the different artist trends of his time to their ultimate expression, on which he left his own indelible hallmark. Picasso was born in Málaga, Spain.
He lived and worked out of Paris for the larger part of his life , but due to his strong Spanish roots, he was deeply influenced by strong figures of the spanish art world like, Velazquez, El Greco etc.
We see a great of presenting the works in this exhibition in Paris where his early classical style work is strongly juxtaposed against his own works. The exhibition has cost a lot due to the cost and the worht of the insurance of the invaluable works being held under one roof here at the grand palais in Paris.
I advice everyone who live sin Paris to definitely take a look at this expo.
