The “best story ever told about the greatest artist of the 20th century” will remain open until July 7th.

As of March 23rd, the Klovićevi Dvori Gallery will feature the largest exhibition of representative works by Pablo Picasso ever shown in this part of Europe!

The exhibition will consist of masterpieces from the Picasso Museum, which is currently undergoing renovations, so its holdings have been touring the world for three years now. After Europe, the United States, China, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, Australia and Hong Kong, the exhibition is arriving in Zagreb, where it will remain on show until July 7th. Even visitors from neighbouring countries are expected to attend the exhibition, and they will have the opportunity to enjoy 56 of Picasso’s paintings and sculptures, as well as around 40 photographs, which are a large part of the impressive opus left by the greatest artist of the 20th century.

Apart from paintings and sculptures, numerous documents regarding Pablo Picasso’s work will also be exhibited, dating from his earliest works to the ones he created toward the end of his life.

Works will be presented chronologically, starting with a painting from 1895, when a fourteen year old Picasso painted “The Man with a Hat”. The influence of many Spanish artists is evident in young Pablo Picasso’s development as an artist, but all of his later works reflect his originality in various fields of painting – from his famous blue and pink periods, proto-cubism and the so-called synthetic cubism, to explorations of Africa, the classical period and the surrealist phase, to his final works. Among them is his last painting – a self-portrait, “Sunday”, which he completed not long before his death in 1971.

The Zagreb audience will also be drawn to the part of the exhibition dedicated to Pablo’s muse, Croatian Dora Maar, whose artistic and political views greatly influenced his life. Visitors will have the opportunity to see her famous portrait from 1937.

All in all, this is a unique art event which puts Zagreb on the world map of the most desirable cultural destinations during this winter and spring.
