Annual or Occassional Events.


Picasso Art Show, Malaga

Have you ever wondered just what inspired Picasso? So have thousands of others. In an attempt to answer this question an exhibition has been put together at the Picasso Foundation in Malaga's Plaza de la Merced. More than sixty works will be displayed ranging from the late 19th century to the early avant-garde period. Works by Ramon Casas from the early part of this period are of elongated forms and almost violent brush strokes, similar to some of Picassos work. Other galleries show works by other artists who influenced Picasso. The final gallery is reserved for Picasso himself and will display for the first time "Visage d'Homme" (1962) which was created on a fragment of brick.
