Tuesday, July 18 | 6 – 8 p.m.
Enjoy an exclusive look at "A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso." Megan Fontanella, Curator, Modern Art and Provenance at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York will lead the event with a lecture.
"A Graphic Journey presents" an insightful gathering of approximately 60 prints by one of the great masters of the 20th Century, Pablo Picasso. It provides a unique window into a significant era in art history and takes a serious look at the artist’s development and creative process. Best known for his paintings and sculptures, Picasso was also a major innovator in the medium of printmaking. He made prints throughout his career — his first in 1899, when he was still a teenager, and his last in 1972, when he was 90 years old. Organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA.
