Member Preview, Curator Talk, and Book signing | Picasso and the Masters . . . and Dora Maar Too

Join us for an exclusive member cocktail and exhibition preview for Picasso and the Progressive Proof: Linocut Prints from a Private Collection followed by a lecture and book signing by exhibition curator and art historian, Richard P. Townsend.

In his talk, "Picasso and the Masters . . . and Dora Maar Too," Townsend will explore Picasso's dialogue with Renaissance masterpieces, examining how the artist both honored and challenged the traditions of Old Masters. Underscoring this dialogue will be Townsend's exciting new research on the previously unknown and unpublished drawings of Picasso's lover and leading Surrealist artist in her own right, Dora Maar.

The Picasso Summer Series is generously supported by the Rick and Kiki Frayard Family Fund.
