Pablo Picasso et al.
This is the second exhibition to commemorate the opening of the Jokkmokk Museum, with Yasujiro Otaka, a leading historian of Spanish art and professor emeritus at Waseda University, as the supervisor.
Pablo Picasso, one of the greatest masters of 20th-century art, based his spirituality on the bright and bountiful Mediterranean Sea, which nurtured ancient civilizations, and on the mythical world that had been nurtured there since ancient times. Picasso was born and raised in Malaga, a Spanish port city at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. After achieving success as a painter in Paris, he visited Vallauris in the south of France with his partner at the time, Françoise Giraud, after World War II.
In Vallauris, a town on the Mediterranean coast with a history of pottery production dating back to Roman times, Picasso encountered a new means of expression, pottery making, and immersed himself in it. Picasso made use of the plasticity of the pottery clay to form his work, and painted them while making the most of clay’s characteristics. Picasso’s motifs in his work are the inhabitants of the ancient mythological world of the Mediterranean, animals in the natural world, and sea creatures. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the Mediterranean world that became the source of Picasso’s creativity along with his work.
