Poetry recital
By Josep Pedrals

As André Breton said, Picasso was a poet. Because Picasso understood writing as a plastic question, a relative of ideograms, but he also thought through the alchemy of the verb and even as a game of sound. In this show we will take a look at the origin of this poetic vein of the magnificent painter, how it emerged, what it gave and with whom it shone. We will listen and see how colourful verses flowed.

A poetry recital that links Picasso's poetry with the poetic work of some of his friends and, at the same time, includes them in the tradition of surrealism.
