About Picasso exhibition
Though they received less attention than other pieces, Picasso was dedicated to depicting landscapes for his entire life, according to the Mint Museum.
Picasso began his work on landscapes in the early 20th century by painting Spanish cities such as Barcelona and Horta de Ebro as they were being reshaped by industrialization.
Later, his pieces like “Winter Landscape” which depicted Paris cityscapes were inspired by World War II.
Near the end of his career, Picasso’s paintings of the French Riviera, which once portrayed peasants and laborers, showed the growth of the region through urbanization.
The exhibition will be organized into sections, “which address various phases, approaches, or themes in the artist’s landscape painting, and which yield new insights into his creative production and broader involvement with the world of his time,” the Mint Museum says.
