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.

11.00 am and noon: Participative tours of the exhibition, with the aid of a mediator, in which participants will examine the work of Pablo Picasso in relation to Olga Khokhlova and her time as a ballerina.

11.30am and 12.30 pm: Fragments of choreography of the Ballets Russes will be performed in the central courtyard of the museum. They include The Spectre of the Rose and Les Sylphides.

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