Buddy Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Pablo Picasso and Dance — Exhibition until Sept.16 Although he could be the greatest genius in the history of art and I love some of his work immensely I can still be pretty selective based on his subject matter. But….in regard to his works about dance, I might be able to embrace him like a long lost brother. Anyone based in Paris might be interested. If you do go please tell us about it, but please don’t make it sound too good because I’ll probably miss my chance by a few days. "An exploration of Picasso’s work in relation to the art of dance is on display until mid-September at the Bibliothèque-Musée de l'Opéra National de Paris. Sketches converse with photographs and extracts from ballets, delving into Picasso’s representation of movement." https://en.vogue.fr/fashion-culture/fashion-exhibitions/story/paris-exhibition-picasso-and-dance-palais-garnier-bibliotheque-musee-opera-national-de-paris-ballet-movement-art-culture/3632#3-1 (Thanks to Jan McNulty at BalletcoForum) Edited September 1, 2018 by Buddy Link to comment
pherank Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Thanks - the three drawings accompanying the article are new to me. At least I can't remember having seen them before - there may be some 'hidden gems' in the exhibit. Edited September 1, 2018 by pherank Link to comment
