Vienna, ALBERTINA: »Picasso. On the 50th Anniversary of his Death«
More than just cubism
2023 will be a Picasso year: 50 years ago, the world's most famous artist died. The ALBERTINA in Vienna also honors him with works from its own collection. From March 17, Picasso. On the 50th Anniversary of his Death.
March 17, 2023
Pablo Picasso is generally associated with Cubism; together with Georges Braque, he is considered the inventor of this art movement. However, the oeuvre of the famous painter testifies to an enormous range, joy in experimentation and constant reorientation and reinvention. In his so-called Blue Phase, Picasso was one of the main representatives of Symbolism, and in the 1920s he began the trend of referencing classical painting. Towards the end of his life he tried to valorize arts and crafts − especially pottery. Now the ALBERTINA is organizing the exhibition Picasso. On the 50th Anniversary of his Death, which can be seen in Vienna from March 17 to June 18.
More than 70 exhibits from the in-house collection, including major works from the Blue Phase and rarely shown paintings from the postwar period, testify to Picasso's diversity. The ALBERTINA show promises exciting insights into one of the best-known and most studied œuvres in art history.
