Picasso and Modern British Art |
London's Tate Britain has unveiled
Picasso and Modern British Art, which is the first exhibition to explore Pablo
Picasso's impact on British art. The Exhibition
is now open and runs until 15 July 2012.
The influence of Picasso on British art and artists has rarely been
recognised – until now, thanks to Tate Britain's new exhibition, Picasso
and Modern British Art.Picasso and Modern British Art explores the Spanish artist's critical (and public) reputation in Britain, as well as his political status, forged through the tour of his Guernica painting in 1938-39 and his appearance at the 1950 Peace Congress in Sheffield.
The Tate Britain exhibition will also look at how Picasso's work affected British modernism and inspired British artists such as:
