Early look: 13 paintings you’ll see in ‘Picasso Landscapes’ show debuting in Charlotte

When “Picasso Landscapes: Out of Bounds” debuts Feb. 11 at Mint Museum Uptown, it offers a rare chance not only to view works by one of the greatest artists of modern times but also to glimpse some paintings that are rarely seen in public anywhere.

This is the first traveling exhibition that presents Spanish artist Pablo Picasso’s work focused in landscapes, according to American Federation of Arts, which organized the exhibit.

The exhibition includes nearly 50 paintings and two sculptures from private and public lenders from around the world, and includes elements of historical and political context such as movie clips and photographs.
