| Pablo Picasso, Woman on the Beach (Nu sur la plage), 1932 |
From the Tate's press release -
45 years after the artist’s death, Tate Modern
stages its first ever solo exhibition of Pablo Picasso’s work, one of the most
ambitious shows in the museum’s history. The EY Exhibition: Picasso 1932 –
Love, Fame, Tragedy takes visitors on a month-by-month journey through
1932, a time so pivotal in Picasso’s life and work that it has been called his
‘year of wonders’. More than 100 outstanding paintings, sculptures and works on
paper demonstrate his prolific and restlessly inventive character, stripping
away common myths to reveal the man and the artist in his full complexity and
richness.
1932 was an extraordinary year for Picasso, even by
his own standards. His paintings reached a new level of sensuality and he
cemented his celebrity status as one of the most influential artists of the
20th century. Over the course of this year he created some of his best loved
works, including Nude Woman in a Red Armchair, an anchor point of Tate’s
collection, confident colour-saturated portraits and Surrealist experiments,
including 13 seminal ink drawings of the Crucifixion.
