Pablo Picasso: Tate showcases performance in the artist’s works

Picasso, who was born in 1881 in Malaga and died in 1973, is widely acknowledged to be one of the most important artists of all time.

He experimented with a wide range of styles and themes in his long career, most notably inspiring Cubism, of which his 1937 work Weeping Woman is a leading example.

The Theatre Picasso exhibition is being ‘staged’ by contemporary artist Wu Tsang and writer and curator Enrique Fuenteblanca.

The Tate said: “The Three Dancers sits at the heart of the exhibition, alongside famous paintings such as Weeping Woman 1937 and Nude Woman in a Red Armchair 1932.

“The exhibition also showcases prints, drawings, sculptures, textile works and collages, interwoven with key loans from leading Picasso museums in France.”
