Picasso initially used mostly somber blue tones, as shown in Woman with Bangs, but during the next two years, his palette changed to pink and flesh tones. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see great masterpieces side by side, in one exhibition. Unique to this exhibition is Le Salon, by Luken Interiors. This reading room, located inside the special exhibition galleries, features comfortable sofas and chairs and allows visitors a place to rest and leisurely browse through 19th and 20th century art books donated by BookFriends . The exhibition is accompanied by a 150-page full color catalogue published by Scala Publishers in London, and will be available in The Museum Store.
Tours are free with exhibition admission.
Thursday night tours are signed for the hearing impaired. Enjoy a French lunch, a tour of The Triumph of French Painting and a chance to create your own artwork in one of the French traditions. Enjoy a tour of The Triumph of French Painting in addition to hands on art-making opportunities.
