Picasso in Warmer Climes: Works on Canvas, Clay, and Paper

Picasso claimed that pastoral and bucolic themes only came to mind when he visited the south of France, which he found particularly inspiring during spring and summer. Through Picasso in Warmer Climes: Works on Canvas, Clay, and Paper, viewers will be able to explore recurring outdoor motifs such as fauns, bulls, birds, and figural scenes across a selection of the artist’s paintings, prints, and ceramics, including a large, unique painted terracotta relief, Picnic on the Grass, inspired by the famous Édouard Manet painting of the same title.
