ARTSNational Perth - Puzzling out Picasso
How can you best understand one of the most prolific, complex and influential painters of the 20th century? By taking just ten of Picasso’s paintings this lecture will examine his life and attempt to explain the evolution of his painting styles through a career that spanned more than seventy years. Looking at the genesis of each work, examining its biographical meaning, its moment in history and its significance in the canon of modern art this will reveal the truth behind this most enigmatic and powerful artist. Lecturer Alan Reid holds a master's and first-class honours degree in History of Art from Birkbeck College, London. He is currently a gallery guide at Tate Britain and for many years was a guide at Tate Modern and the National Portrait Gallery in London.
