Descripción de la Exposición
"Picasso and the comics" is the first exhibition dedicated to the links between Pablo Picasso’s work and the world of comics. Through a selection of original drawings, prints and planks, the course begins with Picasso’s passion for the genre – as evidenced by Gertrude Steins’s weekly readings of Pim Pam Poum, by Rudolph Dirks, published in the supplement of the New York Journal in the early twentieth century. Always curious to experiment with new techniques, Picasso also tries this art. Illustrated newspapers that he created as a child until the vignettes of Dream and lie of Franco (1937), while passing by his always lively taste for the caricature and the illustration, the incursions of the Spanish artist in the world of the ninth art are frequent. Finally, “Picasso and the comics” will show the important place that Picasso occupies in contemporary comics. Reiser, Milo Manara, Art Spiegelman, Hergé or Clément Oubrerie: many authors make him an iconic character and integrate into their boards the artist and his work.
The exhibition "Picasso and comics" is part of BD2020, the year of comics.
