The
Picasso Érotique show was last exhibited in Barcelona, Spain,
after a successful run in Montreal, Canada. The show drew hundreds of thousands of visitors in a handful of cities, and has inspired
people the world over. Below is an excellent reviewprepared
by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. For complete coverage (including
media reviews of the show) of this show, have a look at our special
page.
The selection of more than 350 works
- many rarely, if ever, exhibited publicly before due to reasons
of censorship - spans the artist's entire career and includes paintings,
prints and drawings, sculpture and ceramics. Together, these reveal
the profound, persistent and remarkably varied role that erotic
imagery, ideas and experiences played in Picasso's work - from the
bordello scenes of his youth in Barcelona to the epochal Les Demoiselles
d'Avignon (sketches for which are included in the exhibition) and
the nudes he produced at the age of ninety. As Picasso himself once
stated, when asked about his views on art and sexuality, "They're
the same thing."
Garnered from more than forty public and private collections worldwide,
the exhibition features erotic works representative of virtually
all the phases and styles of Picasso's career. Drawn from personal
experience, imagination, mythology and earlier art, these images
- by turns humorous and melancholic, enraptured and enraged - explore
an almost encyclopedic range of sexual impulses, practices and human
desire.
"Given the enormity of Picasso's oeuvre and influence, it is
remarkable that up to now there has been no full-scale, major museum
exhibition devoted to the central importance of erotic subject matter
in his art," stated Museum Director Guy Cogeval. "Fascinating
and often stunningly beautiful in and of themselves, these works
will provide a long-overdue contribution to our understanding of
the greatest artist of the twentieth century - and, indeed, of the
nature of the artistic process and of creativity itself. It is most
appropriate that this historic exhibition should take place at the
Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, which in the past has hosted such
important displays of Picasso's work as Picasso and Man (1964) and
Pablo Picasso: Meeting in Montreal, organized in collaboration with
Jacqueline Picasso, the artist's last wife."
