Picasso in Fontainebleu

The Museum of Modern Art presents Picasso at Fontainebleau, an exhibition focusing on three months of the legendary artist's career, a period between July and September 1921 during which he created an astonishingly diverse body of work in the French town of Fontainebleau. This exhibition will bring together his four monumental paintings, both versions of Three Musicians and Three Women at the Fountain, as well as other major works on canvas, numerous preparatory paintings, drawings, etchings and pastels made in Fontainebleau. This exhibition will bring together these works for the first time since their creation in Picasso's studio. These works, in a cubist and academic style, will be complemented by previously unpublished photographs and archival documents. Picasso at Fontainebleau is organised by Anne Umland, Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, with Alexandra Morrison, Conservation Assistant, and Francesca Ferrari, former Mellon-Marron Research Consortium Fellow, Department of Painting and Sculpture, Museum of Modern Art. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the artist's death, the MoMA exhibition is included in the Picasso Celebration 1973-2023, which is exceptionally supported by the Musée national Picasso-Paris.
