Description: First time exhibition organized in Uruguay of forty-five artworks by noted artist Pablo Picasso (Spain 1881- France 1973), distributed in six sections (26 paintings of medium and large format, 7 sculptures, 4 ceramics, 3 drawings, 1 watercolor, 1 engraving, photographs and documents) and belong for the most part to the collections of the Musée National Picasso in Paris and the rest from the Museu Picasso in Barcelona. Pablo Picasso was a strong influence in the work of artist Joaquín Torres García, settled in Barcelona since 1882 and who frequented the same places and the same artistic circles as Picasso. "In the 1930's, the fascination with Picasso's of the Uruguayan painter led him to take the pen. "Picasso, visto por un pintor" (Picasso, seen by a painter) was the homage of Torres García to the genius of the 20th century, a project that would never see the light of day and of which today there is nothing left but the front cover, exposed in the MNAV." (HKB Translation) --Page 21.
