Picasso - El Greco

Pablo Picasso's artistic journey was deeply influenced by his fascination with El Greco. During his youth, he often visited the Prado Museum, where he studied the works of the old masters himself, rather than following a formal education. This led to a profound admiration for El Greco's unique style, which would later become a significant part of Picasso's own artistic dialogue.

The artist's engagement with El Greco can be seen in various periods of his work, including his Blue Period and late career. During these times, Picasso incorporated elements such as elongated figures, sober backgrounds, and a touch of mysticism into his paintings, drawing inspiration from El Greco's style. This volume brings together 40 masterpieces by both artists, highlighting the depth and longevity of their creative connection.

By exploring this dialogue between two artistic giants, this book provides a unique insight into Picasso's work and its historical context. The juxtaposition of these 40 masterpieces offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of their artistic styles and the enduring influence of El Greco on modern art.
