Officials announced that, from the Prado museum to the Pompidou Centre and New York\u2019s Met, the art world has rallied to stage \u201can unprecedented\u201d 42 exhibitions marking 50 years since Pablo Picasso\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Prepared over the past 18 months by France and Spain, the \u201cYear of Picasso\u201d initiative will involve \u201c38 significant art institutions in Europe and the United States,\u201d Spanish Culture Minister Miquel Iceta told reporters.<\/p>\n

The aim is to \u201cshow off all the facets\u201d of Picasso, said French Culture Minister Rima Abdul Malak, describing him as \u201cthe most famous and emblematic modern artist.\u201d A series of talks about him and his work will also be held alongside the exhibition.<\/p>\n

The celebrations will begin on September 23 at Madrid\u2019s Mapfre Foundation with the exhibit \u201cPablo Picasso and the breaking down of sculpture.\u201d They will run until April 2024, with the closing exhibition at the Petit Palais in Paris.<\/p>\n

Although most events will occur in Spain, France, and the United States, others will happen in Germany, Switzerland, Romania, and Belgium. Among the institutions involved in the celebrations are the New York\u2019s Metropolitan Museum of Art, Madrid\u2019s Prado, the Guggenheim in Bilbao, the Pompidou Centre in Paris, and the Picasso museums in Barcelona and Paris. \u201cWe want to present Picasso exactly how he was\u201d by highlighting his \u201cartistic legacy\u201d and the \u201cpermanence of his work,\u201d the Spanish culture minister said.<\/p>\n

Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881, in M\u00e1laga, Spain. The son of an academic painter, Jos\u00e9 Ruiz Blasco, he began to draw at an early age. In 1895 the family moved to Barcelona, and Picasso studied there at La Lonja, the academy of fine arts.<\/p>\n

His visit to Horta de Ebro from 1898 to 1899 and his association with the group at the caf\u00e9 Els Quatre Gats in about 1899 were crucial to his early artistic development. Picasso\u2019s first exhibition took place in Barcelona in 1900, and that fall, he went to Paris for the first of several stays during the early years of the century. Picasso settled in Paris in April 1904. His circle of friends soon included Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Gertrude, and Leo Stein, as well as two dealers, Ambroise Vollard and Berthe Weill.<\/p>\n

In 1932, with large exhibitions at the Galeries Georges Petit, Paris, and the Kunsthaus Z\u00fcrich and the publication of the first volume of Christian Zervos\u2019s catalogue raisonn\u00e9, Picasso\u2019s fame increased markedly.<\/p>\n

By 1936 the Spanish Civil War had profoundly affected Picasso, the expression of which culminated in his painting\u00a0Guernica<\/em>\u00a0(1937, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sof\u00eda, Madrid). Picasso\u2019s association with the Communist Party began in 1944. From the late 1940s, he lived in the south of France.<\/p>\n

Among the enormous number of exhibitions held during the artist\u2019s lifetime, those at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1939 and the Mus\u00e9e des Arts D\u00e9coratifs, Paris, in 1955 were the most significant. In 1961 the artist married Jacqueline Roque, and they moved to Mougins. There Picasso continued his prolific work in painting, drawing, prints, ceramics, and sculpture until his death on April 8, 1973.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
