A Day with...Olga Picasso

Days with… Olga Picasso offers visitors to the gallery a series of activities scheduled over a number of days and adapted to different publics, that will examine subjects relating to the Olga Picasso exhibition. Until 2nd June, the exhibition will be showing works by Pablo Picasso from the years he shared with his first wife, Olga Khokhlova, putting into perspective some his greatest works in the context of a personal story that ran parallel to another political and social one.

The daughter of a colonel in the Russian Imperial Army, Olga Khokhlova (Nezhin, Ukraine, 1891– Cannes, France, 1955) joined the prestigious and innovative Ballet Russes company in 1911. Under the direction of Sergei Diaghilev, the company was highly successful in Europe at the start of the 20th-century. Olga first met Pablo Picasso in Rome in the spring of 1917, when the artist was designing the sets and costumes for the ballet Parade. For his reason, on 2nd and 3rd May A Day with… Olga Picasso will be devoted to ballet, and in Room 12 of the museum a teacher from the Conservatorio Profesional de Danza Pepa Flores will be giving a ballet class to her pupils in a dance studio that has been specially set up for the occasion.

Visitors can watch these lessons live at the following times:

Thursday, 2nd May, from 5.00pm to 6.30pm Friday, 3rd May, from 11.30pm to 1.00pm.

In partnership with the Conservatorio Profesional de Danza Pepa Flores de Málaga
