From September 20, 2024, to February 2, 2025, Palazzo Reale will explore one of the greatest artists of all time from an unprecedented perspective, through artistic, political, and current events themes.
It seems like everything has already been written about Picasso. No other artist has sparked so much debate, controversy, and passion. But how many people know what obstacles the young genius had to face when he first arrived in Paris in 1900, without speaking a word of French?
The exhibition Picasso the foreigner presents more than 90 works by the artist, as well as documents, photographs, letters, and videos, and offers a new and bold interpretation of the artist, addressing urgent themes of our present. Thanks to a multidisciplinary approach and extraordinary research in French police archives, and from the Picasso Museum in Paris, Annie Cohen-Solal uncovers this fascinating story based on numerous unpublished documents. The original idea for the project was conceived by Annie Cohen-Solal, scientific curator of the exhibition, with special curatorial input from Cécile Debray, president of the MNPP.
