Conversations with…

Through a guided tour, guest experts present their different interpretations of the themes addressed in the first major exhibition in Spain devoted to Picasso’s sculpture: the importance of the human body understood as a whole and also as a fragment, technical innovation (alternating modelling with construction), and the use of unusual materials (welded iron, wood, sheet metal and found objects). The exhibition galleries thus become a meeting place and a forum for discussion on Pablo Picasso’s three-dimensional oeuvre.
