The rooms where the magic happened: National Gallery of Ireland exhibition explores Picasso’s studios
The National Gallery of Ireland is presenting an exhibition titled "Picasso: From the Studio," which shifts focus from the artist's famous subjects—such as weeping women and bullfighting—to the physical spaces where he created his art. Curated by Janet McLean and Joanne Snrech, the show draws heavily from the Musée Picasso in Paris and includes works spanning Picasso's career, from early scraps in Montmartre to his final farmhouse studio. It features paintings, film, and photographs, including iconic images by Dora Maar documenting the creation of Guernica, and explores how Picasso curated his studios as extensions of his persona.
