On the occasion of the major exhibition organised by Leonardo Mondadori, “Picasso”, opening at the Palazzo Reale in Milan on September 15, this exhibition wishes to contribute to our familiarity with the great master by presenting him in his day-to-day life.
It is Picasso the man who is on exhibit. The revered and admired artist, but also the husband, the lover, the father, the friend, photographed at home, in his studio, on the street, alone or surrounded by celebrities and ordinary people. Just as, according to Picasso, “A painting is not thought out and determined in advance down to the tiniest detail, but follows the mobility of thought while it is being painted”, the images of the great master seem to follow his personal life, with its joys and tenderness, its seriousness and its irony.
