The exhibition «Picasso: I still surprise» consists of three complete collections. The first one, «Les Bleus de Barcelona», consists of 11 works that reflect the artist’s early periods in Barcelona. The second collection, «Dancers», includes 14 engravings on leather that capture dancers in a single stroke, demonstrating Picasso’s technical and aesthetic mastery. Finally, «Geneviève» includes 12 works on Japan paper, made in the 1950s and published in 1974, which depict Geneviève, Picasso’s young lover, in a series of spontaneous and decorative drawings, revealing a more personal and less well-known aspect of the artist.
