Picasso at Louisiana

PICASSO 'PEACE AND FREEDOM' till 29. May 2011
at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art on the beautiful coast of Zealand, just north of the city-

Louisiana’s spring exhibition adds new aspects to our insight into the perhaps greatest 20th-century artist and to what drove him personally. A selection of works dating from 1944 to his death in 1973 draw a rich and varied picture of the socially conscious, politically committed and peace-loving Picasso.
