Secrets You Will Never Know About Picasso - 1932


Pablo Picasso was a prolific artist, with many still left in awe by his work. He is 
also quite well-known to have had many affairs with different women. In this 
exhibit, we get look at his life during the Great Depression as well as his affair 
with Marie-Thérèse Walter.

Tate Modern's exhibition featuring different works by this master is entitled, 
Picasso 1932: Love, Fame, Tragedy. It will run from March 8 to September 9, 
2018.

Make your way towards Bankside and stay in one of the many excellent, but

Picasso’s Years of Wonders

The exhibition is Tate Modern’s first solo display of works from the late Spanish 
painter. It will showcase over 100 artworks that depict Picasso’s personal life 
during a particular period.

The walk-through exhibition starts from December 1931 with the Bust of a 
Woman and Woman with Yellow Hair, depicting his long-time lover, Marie-Thérèse.
His mistress was the muse of “Vollard Suite”, a set of 100 etched illustrations 
during the 30s.

There are five paintings of Marie-Thérèse in 1932 hung together for the first time 
after their completion. The paintings, Nude Woman in a Red Armchair, Nude, 
Green Leaves and Bus, and The Mirror come together for this exhibit which 
unravels Picasso’s love for women.

During their affair, Picasso was living Russian Ballerina, Olga Khokhlova, whom 
he has a son with. Three years later, Marie-Thérèse also became pregnant, and 
she, too, would become jealous of Picasso’s next mistress, photographer Dora 
Maar.
At last quarter of the year, depictions of an impending war led to darker themes 
of his works.

What to expect from the exhibit

Visitors get to pay £22 for entrance while members of Tate Modern will walk in 
for free. Afterward, guests will meet up with the curators who will walk them 
through Picasso’s life and works.

There will also be an art-inspired lunch menu to complement the exhibition. The 
inspiration draws from the restaurants the artist visited throughout his life.
