Activities of the #CiclePicasso
Under the name of #CiclePicasso, during the month of May, two activities are organized that seek to deepen the figure and work of Picasso, a universal artist with a multifaceted view of the world and art.
Talk Picasso and Catalonia. A Legendary Friendship
On May 2 at 7:00 p.m., a conference will be held on Picasso’s connection with Catalonia, where he lived during his youth and later regularly visited places such as Barcelona, Horta de Sant Joan, Gósol or Cadaqués . This talk, by Sebastià Sánchez, art historian, offers a sentimental tour of the spaces where Picasso lived during his stays in Catalonia, a more biographical than artistic approach.
