Picasso & Les Femmes D'alger
Auteur(s) : Collectif
Exhibition at the Museum Berggruen, Berlin, 21 May - 29 August, 2021
Pablo Picasso was 73 years of age during the winter when he created the unique ensemble of fifteen oil paintings, over 100 drawings and lithographs during his study of Eugène Delacroix' The Women of Algier in their Apartment (1834, 1849) and works by Henri Matisse like Odalisque with Red Trousers (1924/25) within the space of just three months.
This exhibition catalogue presents not only the cycle together with the reference works and their reception, but also an extract from Leo Steinberg's famous essay The Algerian Women and Picasso At Large from 1972. In addition, the book also examines the reception of the series in Algeria.
