Picasso Museum

works. There is also a whole series of studies of the famous “Las Meninas”.

This is the most visited museum in Barcelona. Every year there are about million visitors. The museum is located in a patrician palace Berenguer de Aguilar in the picturesque part of the town – La Ribera. The museum opened in 1963 with a collection of paintings donated by Jaume Sabater, Picasso’s friend.

The permanent exhibition is presented in an interesting way because he invented a kind of Time Machine through Picasso’s life, from birth in the Andalusian city of Malaga until his death in France in 1973. It also has periods that are clearly defined in his work.

Each period is specific in its way.

“Blue Period” (1901-1904) is characterized by shades of blue – the motives of prostitutes, beggars and dark mood while the “pink period” (1905-1907) is dominated by livelier tones, with pink and orange hues and themes and characters from the circus.

From 1907 till 1909 Picasso worked on artifacts of African culture inspired by African art, particularly masks.

The last period was Cubism (analytic and synthetic), the direction which Picasso developed in reducing the form to basic geometric shapes and colors that are monochrome pictures in the background.

A very interesting walk “Picasso’s trace through Barcelona” is organized along with visiting the museum. During this walk you can see the main places that Picasso loved.
