Picasso and The Spanish Classics
Project Room | November 2, 2023 – February 4, 2024
The exhibition will explore Picasso’s response to Spanish literature, in particular his images inspired by two 17th-century literary giants, Luis de Góngora y Argote and Miguel de Cervantes. Featuring a recent acquisition, Picasso’s suite of prints, Góngora’s Vingt poëmes (1948), it will display rarely seen works of art alongside seventeenth-century editions and manuscripts. It will highlight Picasso’s reinterpretation of Velázquez’s portrait of the poet, the artist’s vision of the ideal woman, and his depiction of the iconic figures from Cervantes’s novel Don Quixote. The exhibition will thus focus on the way Picasso reinterpreted the literary classics of his native land.
Local artist Mario Tavarez was honored by the US Congress in 2022 for his work as Inwood Little League Coach from 1985 -2001. Now he enjoys putting on instrumental music and going to another world as he paints. His artwork has been exhibited throughout NYC at the Whitney, Columbia U, the Arsenal and in many NY Public Libraries.
