The Echo of Picasso
by Pablo Picasso
2023
Published in conjunction with 'The Echo of Picasso', an exhibition held at Museo Picasso, Malaga, between October 3, 2023 and March 31, 2024.
Organised within the framework of the international celebrations marking the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) and curated by Éric Troncy, 'The Echo of Picasso' relates Picasso’s oeuvre to that of contemporary artists who, in one way or another, have made or are making its echo resound.
A number of these works from different periods carry the imprint of Picasso’s innovative techniques freed from stylistic constraints. These range from welded iron to painted bronze, and from collage to the use of everyday materials as supports or constitutive elements of an artwork. They also encompass ceramics, a technique which Picasso was one of the first to inscribe in the artistic language of the second half of the twentieth century.
