Everything has already been said about Picasso, it seems. No other artist has aroused so many debates, controversies and passions. But how many people know what obstacles the young genius had to face when he first arrived in Paris, in 1900, without speaking a word of French?

The exhibition Picasso the foreigner presents more than 90 works of the artist, as well as documents, photographs, letters and videos, and offers a new and bold interpretation of the artist, which addresses urgent issues of our present. Thanks to a multidisciplinary approach and the extraordinary research in the archives of the French police, and the Picasso Museum in Paris, Annie Cohen-Solal reveals this fascinating story from numerous unpublished documents. The original idea for the project was born by Annie Cohen-Solal, scientific curator of the exhibition with special curatorship of Cécile Debray, president of MNPP.

An exhibition by the Municipality of Milan - Culture Area | Palazzo Reale | Marsilio Arte | Musée national Picasso - Paris | Palais de la Porte Dorée | Collection Musée Magnelli Musée de la céramique, Vallauris.

Curated by  Annie Cohen-Solal, Cécile Debray.
