Description
2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso. But how did his long career and celebrity begin? Pablo Picasso is Spain’s most famous artist, yet he spent much of his career in self-imposed exile in France. As a young man at the turn of the century, Picasso was inspired by the work of Montmartre painters Toulouse-Lautrec and Edgar Degas. He painted similar subjects: the habitués of the brothels and cafes of Montmartre and Montparnasse. We’ll examine how Picasso came into his own during his early years in Paris.
