Picasso and Greece

27.06 - 26.09.2004

Although Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) never visited Greece, his work was clearly influenced by ancient Greek culture.

The exhibition included a total of 116 works (oil paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics and a few prints) by Pablo Picasso, which juxtaposed with 10 Greek antiquities (statuettes, reliefs, vases and ceramics) from the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, in order to demonstrate the artist's Greek influences.

The objective was to highlight the permanence of ancient Greek elements in Picasso's work, as well as the rupture points with this tradition and the redefinition of the antique sources through Modernism.

The exhibition was held in collaboration with Musée Picasso, Paris. Supported by the Hellenic Culture Organisation - Cultural Olympiad.
