- Flooded with astute analysis and discussion surrounding his motifs, movements, and methods, "Picasso: The Legacy of a Genius" walks us through the artist's timeline and the complex stages of his life's work. Guided by the prolific artists who followed Picasso such as, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein and George Segal, we journey through the artist's spectacularly diverse collection of work from his melancholy Blue Period to the introduction of Cubism. When confronting Picasso's natural tendency to explore and excel at vastly different painting styles, Anthony Caro stated, "I don't know anybody that could change their whole artistic persona so variously and so quickly as Picasso." (Anthony Caro). Always deeply inspired by the poverty and hardships he faced in the early years of both his childhood and career, Picasso did not shy away from the ugliness of his experiences. Following the rapid success of Demoiselles d'Avignon Picasso threw himself into Cubism, creating many of the images that would inspire artists involved with the Abstract Expressionist movement in the years to come. His abstract figures and and settings illustrate the complexities of humanity, presenting inner emotion through his subject's contorted and curious forms.
