Picasso: The Artist and His Models explores the career of protean artist Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973) between 1906 and the mid-1960s. At the nucleus of this exhibition is Picasso’s extraordinary ability to translate three dimensions into two-dimensional evocations. This presentation features diverse and significant paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints by Picasso from the holdings of the Albright-Knox. Additional iconic paintings by the artist, which have been carefully selected from museums in both Europe and the United States, will draw connections between the conceptual and stylistic developments of his work. This exemplary grouping will be contextualized by a further selection of works by Picasso’s contemporaries from the Albright-Knox’s collection.
