Picasso/Lautrec

From 17 Oct 2017 to 21 Jan 2018

17 Oct-21 Jan. The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum examines the affinities between the artists Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) and Pablo Picasso (1881-1973).

Although their paths never crossed, Picasso was much struck by the radical work of Toulouse-Lautrec who died within a year of the young Spaniard's arrival in Paris in 1900.

The exhibition represents a comparative study of these two giants of modern art, with around 100 works displayed according to themes shared by both artists: caricature portraits; night life at cafés, cabarets and theatres; the circus; and brothels.

Tues-Sun 10.00-19.00.
