Description
Picasso is one of the most influential figures in the 20th century art history. His art works include oil paintings, drawings, sculptures, collages, and ceramics etc. He is one of the few artists who can be both prolific and financially successful throughout the life time. His success is based on all the art techniques and theory trainings that he acquired in his young age. Picasso and Georges Braque developed cubism painting style which revolutionized the field of art and moved him up in the world. As a result, he has become extremely prominent and valuable artist in the century.
It is the biggest Picasso exhibition ever held in the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. In total 55 paintings will be displayed. Including well-known pieces such as “La fillette aux pieds nus (The barefoot girl),” “Le sculpteur (The Sculptor),” and “Portrait de Dora Maar (Portrait of Dora Maar).” His other works that closely related to his personal life, “Femme assise dans un fauteuil rouge (Woman sitting on a red chair),” and more will be displayed as well.
