Picasso paintings to be reunited at Tate Modern exhibition

CAIRO – 22 September 2017: Three paintings by the legendary artist Pablo Picasso will finally be reunited at an upcoming solo exhibition of the artist at Britain’s Tate Modern next year.

These paintings were created by Picasso in 1932, when he was 50 years old, during a five-day period of creativity in what Picasso had dubbed his “year of wonders”. Creatively invigorated, Picasso had attempted to redefine himself and stand out amongst his competitors. The subject of the three paintings is Picasso’s model, muse and lover, Marie-Thérèse Walter.

These three portraits are to be reunited for the first time in the 85 years since they were painted. The “once-in-a-lifetime” exhibition will also cover all of Picasso’s work throughout 1932, going through each month. More than a hundred of the artist’s work, from paintings to sculptures, will be on display. Visitors will have a chance to get a glimpse at how prolific an artist Picasso was.

“Picasso 1932 – Love, Fame and Tragedy” will run from March 8, 2018 until September 9.
