Picasso. The Dance

From Le Tricorne to Suites 347 and 156

Centro Cultural Fundación Bancaja. September 2008

On Picasso. The Dance discovers Picasso’s immersion in the world of scenographic arts. The exhibition is divided into two main groups: the sets made by the artist between 1919 and 1924, where we find a bourgeois Picasso, who having already achieved success, becomes involved in the concept of total art, and a second stage related to dance that can be placed between 1968 and 1972.

In the first block  we see  framed prints belonging to book Le Tricorne, alongside the projection of the historicist reconstruction of the ballet of the Parisian Opera house, 1919, made eighty years later. The projection shows the costume design in action and the backdrop that the artist devised.

The prints with thirty figurines in ballet dress, are placed on a curved wall with fixed dynamic lighting opposite the large screen where the ballet is projected. The maroon carpet alludes to the idea of theatre.
