Picasso’s late paintings and prints at the Gagosian Gallery

When you think of Picasso, you think of his “Blue Period” or perhaps his involvement in the movement, Cubism. However, there is more to the art and to the man just before he passed in 1973. Much of his work in the last stages of his life have been overlooked and considered irrelevant, until now.

The Gagosian Gallery in Chelsea New York has his paintings and art on exhibit titled as “Picasso: Mosqueteros“. It is the first public appearance for the paintings because of the curiosity and demand to view his work. It is rare and special moment. Curators, researchers, and professors alike have had thought his mind frail, skittish and often showed up in his work. The work that was once questionable is now presented in a different light. According to the press release it is looked as “exhibition suggests how the portrayal of the aged Picasso, bound to the past in his life and painting, has obscured the highly innovative and contemporary nature of the late work”
