Picasso's Drawings, 1890-1921: Reinventing Tradition

The National Gallery of Art (Washington, USA) hosts, until May 6, 2012, the show Picasso's Drawings, 1890-1921: Reinventing Tradition. The exhibition is co-organized with The Frick Collection, New York.

Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) is generally acknowledged to be the greatest draftsman of the 20th century. Through some 55 works, the exhibition presents the dazzling development of Picasso's drawings over a 30-year period -from the precocious academic exercises of his youth in the 1890s to the virtuoso works of the early 1920s including the radical innovations of cubism and collage.

Drawing served as an essential means of invention and discovery in Picasso's multifaceted art, connecting him deeply with the grand tradition of European masters of the near and distant past.

Date: until May 6.
Location: The National Gallery of Art. 4th and Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20565. USA.
Opening hours: from Monday to Saturday from 10am am to 5pm. Sundays from 11am to 6pm.
