Artists and art enthusiasts alike are going to want to make their way soon to the largest art exhibition ever made of Pablo Picasso’s masterpieces.
Titled “Birth of a Genius,” the exhibit brings together the Spanish painter’s best work curated from Musée National Picasso-Paris spanning the first 30 years of his career, from his childhood to middle age.
Visitors will be able to find paintings, sculptures, and works on paper — some well-known and others never-been-seen-before — all of which will showcase the evident change and development in Picasso’s art style, starting with realism before making transitions to his iconic style of cubism.
