LONDON.-
A major exhibition bringing together over
150 works by Picasso from across the world will be presented at Tate
Liverpool
from 21 May to 30 August 2010. Picasso: Peace and Freedom will reveal a
fascinating new insight into the artist’s life as a tireless political
activist
and campaigner for peace, challenging the widely-held view of the artist
as
creative genius, playboy and compulsive extrovert.
