Description: Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is acknowledged as one of the greatest draftsmen of the 20th century. "Picasso's Drawings, 1890-1921" follows the dazzling development of his drawing practice from the precocious academic exercises of his youth to his renewal of classicism in his virtuoso output of the early 1920s. A selection of more than seventy works on paper, with extended entries, highlights his stylistic experiments and techniques during this roughly thirty-year period, which begins and ends in a classical mode and encompasses his most radical innovations.
Notes: Issued in connection with an exhibition held Oct. 4, 2011-Jan. 8, 2012, the Frick Collection, New York, and Feb. 5-May 6, 2012, National Gallery of Art, Washington.
