Picasso : Voyages Imaginaires

Exhibition at the Centre de la Vieille Charité and the Mucem, Marseille, 16 February - 24 June 2018

From the shores of the Mediterranean to the farthest reaches of Africa, Pablo Picasso's work is imbued with a desire to escape and to travel. The paths he takes are similar to a mythological initiation described by the artist. A liberated Minotaur, Pablo Picasso travels in reality or inwardly, to Spain, Africa, Rome, Greece, Algeria...

Between memories of travels and fictitious itineraries, this exhibition catalogue offers an exploration of Picasso's works, from one source of inspiration to another, punctuated by the postcards from all over the world that the artist liked to collect.
