Picasso in der Kunst der Gegenwart

Viac o knihe

No artist of the 20th century garners as much public attention as Pablo Picasso, whose works draw large museum crowds and inspire a diverse array of artists. Since 1912, when Juan Gris created the Cubist portrait "Hommage à Picasso," Picasso's art has served as both a challenge and an incentive for generations of creators. Iconic pieces like "Les demoiselles d'Avignon" (1907) and "Guernica" (1937) have been reinterpreted in myriad ways, regardless of the artists' individual styles. The boundless imagination in Picasso’s work fosters ongoing dialogues between abstraction and figuration, artistic creativity, and political commentary. This extensive volume accompanies an exhibition marking the reopening of the renovated Nordhalle, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Deichtorhallen. Featured artists include Dia Al-Azzawi, Art & Language, Kader Attia, Donald Baechler, Georg Baselitz, Walead Beshty, Mike Bidlo, Erwin Blumenfeld, and many others, showcasing a wide range of interpretations and responses to Picasso's profound influence on contemporary art. The exhibition runs from January 4 to December 7, 2015, at Deichtorhallen Hamburg.
