Friday 7th February 2020.
"The Musée Picasso is located in the beautiful 17th-century Hôtel Salé. The collection comprises over 5,000 works and tens of thousands of archived pieces." They were all well hidden - in fact I think I saw more works from the Paris Picasso Museum at a recent Picasso/Matisse exhibition in Canberra than I did here .....
What we did see was an exhibition of Pablo Picasso’s Magical Paintings. "These magical paintings have been painted between summer 1926 and spring 1930 and are portraits inspired by extra-occidental art and sign the first lights of cubism. They are made of lines and strange monumental volumes that seem to change perpetually.” Challenging.
Here are some of them:
Guitare 1927.
The letters M and T reference Marie-Therese Walter, his French lover and model. Their relationship began when she was 17 years old; he was 45 and still living with his first wife, Olga Khokhlova.
Figure 1930.
Figure (Femme Assise) 1930.
Crucifixion 1930.
Femme dans un Fauteuil 1927.
Femme dans un Fauteuil (Figure)1927.
Staircase in the gallery. French galleries are just as beautiful as the treasures they hold.
