The journal Cahiers d’Art, founded in 1926, is closely linked to the work of Pablo Picasso, to which it devoted several dozen articles until the end of the 1950s. Under the impetus of its founder, Christian Zervos, Cahiers d’Art played a crucial role in disseminating the artist’s work, associating it with that of his contemporaries, with archaic and non-European works, or with views of modern architecture.
Through more than thirty works, most of them reproduced in the pages of Cahiers d’Art, this exhibition-dossier, conceived on the occasion of the journal’s centenary, evokes the visual universe of the journal and offers a journey through Picasso’s work, set alongside drawings and paintings by other artists, from Douanier Rousseau to Joan Miró, including Salvador Dalí and Max Ernst.
On the occasion of the centenary of the journal Cahiers d’Art, the Musée national Picasso-Paris invites you to an exceptional conversation bringing together Cécile Debray, president of the museum, Johan Popelard, director of collections and conservation, and Staffan Ahrenberg, director of publications and of the Cahiers d’Art gallery.
