Description: The exhibition "Picasso, 1905-1906" has allowed an extension,albeit only a temporary one, ofthe permanent collections of the PicassoMuseum in Barcelona.

Throughthis exhibition, it has' been possible tosee the extent to which the artist's rootswere fixed in the Catalan art of the endof the century. At the same time, theartistic effervescence of Paris and hiscontacts with what was to become thevanguard of European culture stimulatedhim and encouraged his ceaseless,determined search for a new and originalform of painting which was to leadto a decisive change in his artistic language.
