Self-Portrait, 1914

About the Show:

Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris focuses on the decades that Pablo Picasso spent working and either living or based in Paris during the first half of the 20th-century. During the young artist's fourth trip to Paris, in 1904, he decided to stay and quickly assimilated himself into the wide circle of artists, poets and writers who comprised the "avant-garde" (later known as "The School of Paris").

Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris was arranged chronologically, moving from Picasso's Blue and Rose Periods, through Cubism, a re-visitation of the Classical techniques he'd learned in art school, a passing nod to the Surrealists with whom he was friendly, and a growing political consciousness that culminated in joining the Communist party. Throughout, we also saw the works of his friends and friendly rivals.

This exhibition consisted of nearly 200 paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró (among many others), most of which came from the Philadelphia Museum of Art's own collection. Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris did not travel, but enjoyed such record crowds in Philadelphia that its end date was extended from April 25 to May 2, 2010.
