Picasso: Themes and Variations, an exhibition exploring Pablo Picasso’s
creative
process through the medium of printmaking, from March 28 to August 30,

collection of the
artist’s prints. The exhibition is organized by Deborah Wye, The Abby
Aldrich
Rockefeller Chief Curator of Prints and Illustrated Books, The Museum of
Modern
Art. Pablo Picasso’s insatiable curiosity and tireless urge to
create
art often led him to mediums beyond painting. He fully explored
sculpture and
drawing, as well as printmaking and ceramics. This exhibition looks at
Picasso’s
engagement with printmaking over the course of his long career, and the
ways it
fostered his creativity by encouraging a thematic approach to his
subjects and
by allowing for constant experimentation.
