PICASSO
La Belleza Multiple (Multiple Beauty)
18 November - 1 April 2012
Fundación Telefónica’ s Exhibition Hall in Santiago de Chile is celebrating its 15th anniversary with this exhibition, presented along with Minera Escondida, bringing together some of the Spanish artist’s yet unpublished engravings.
Capturing, portraying and conveying beauty is an artists lifelong pursuit, and Picasso managed to achieve it. The different concepts of beauty depicted in the graphic works of the artist from Malaga articulate this exhibition. The collection includes more than 70 engravings and lithographs, dated between 1904 and 1971, samples of the different techniques and stages that Picasso’s production went through. These works are a selection of the collection of the Fundación Picasso-Museo Casa Natal (Birthplace Museum), The exhibition also includes some parts of exhibits of the first series of engravings created by Picasso, La Suite de los Saltimbanquis (The Suite of the Acrobats).
The exhibition is articulated along ten sections that cover Picasso’s different ideas on the concept of beauty and a screening of his different graphic production stages and techniques. Some of these sections are "El espejo ajeno" (The Alien Mirror), with Picasso’s reinterpretations of works by past artists that most stimulated his curiosity, and “La belleza burguesa” (The Bourgeois Beauty), in which the artist revisits his origins, the society in which he was born, illustrating the costumes and poses of the nineteenth-century bourgeoisie.
