Lecture and Reception: Picasso and Paper
January 22, 2025
6:00 p.m.
CMA private lecture room, followed by a reception and self-guided gallery visit

Curator Britany Salsbury will offer a lecture on the exhibition Picasso and Paper, which showcases nearly 300 works spanning the artist’s career. Picasso’s appreciation of—and relentless experimentation with—paper is revealed in works that include collages of cut-and-pasted paper, sculptures made from pieces of torn and burnt paper, manipulated photographs, drawings in virtually all available media, and prints in an array of techniques. Picasso and Paper presents such works chronologically alongside a limited number of closely related paintings and sculptures. Seen together, these groupings highlight the connections that the artist saw between media and the integral role that paper played throughout his creative practice.
