Picasso. The Drawing Factory, 1890-1904
Imagen de EX0075
This series of drawings by the artist kept in the permanent collection of the Museu Picasso help us understand Picasso's artistic apprenticeship as a child. The show traces his early discoveries in the field of academic painting and explores his first avant-garde experiments.
The narrative thread of the exhibition hopes to reveal, through drawing, Picasso's conscientious apprenticeship as a child, his early discoveries in the world of academic painting and his first steps as an avant-garde painter in Barcelona and Paris before becoming the archetypal leader of modern art.
The series of drawings presented in the show, all of which belong to the museum's permanent collection, exemplify the institution's idiosyncrasy as well as the painstaking care that José Ruiz Blasco took to guide the beginnings of his career as an artist. It also illustrates the tenacity with which the young artist managed to become a master craftsman, a virtuous painter — all that his father expected of him.
