Margarida Cortadella: «The correspondence between Sabartés and Picasso breaks the cliché that they only spoke about money»
As you know, the Museu Picasso is hosting the exhibition «Sabartés by Picasso by Sabartés» until 24th February, in which we review the friendship that joined them during almost 70 years. The exhibition is curated by the director of the Museum, Emmanuel Guigon, and by the head of the library, Margarida Cortadella, who we have interviewed to get to know a little more about the contents of the exhibition.
«Sabartés by Picasso by Sabartés», history of two inseparable friends
This year represents 50 years since the death of Jaume Sabartés, an essential figure in the life of Pablo Picasso and the man behind the foundation of the Museu Picasso of Barcelona. For this reason, from 23rd November we will be paying homage to him with the exhibition «Sabartés by Picasso by Sabartés», that not only takes an in-depth look at his friendship with the Cubist master, but also his career as a biographer, writer, translator, professor and intellectual.
