Picasso and Masters - Grand Palais Paris.

All his life, Picasso was inspired by the masterpieces of painting. The influence of the great masters like Titian, Goya, Renoir and Manet is revealed here in an outstanding exhibition that presents over 200 works from the most prestigious French, foreign, public and private collections. Picasso and the masters juxtaposes past and present, illustrates the major changes of direction and formal innovations that marked Picasso’s career, while proposing a dialogue between the artist and his predecessors. This new angle on Picasso’s achievements sheds a new light on the work of the founder of cubism.
An exhibition organised by the Réunion des Musées Nationaux, the National Picasso Museum, The Louvre Museum and the Orsay Museum.
