Description

Picasso’s portraits epitomise the astonishing variety and innovation of his art.

This major exhibition of over 80 works focuses on the artist’s portrayal of family, friends and lovers and reveals his creative processes as he moved between drawing from life, caricatures and expressive painting from memory.

The paintings on display range from celebrated masterpieces loaned by international institutions to works in private collections being shown in the UK for the first time.

On display will be portraits from all periods of Picasso’s career and in all media, from the realist paintings of his boyhood to his later spontaneous canvases.
