The international congress Picasso from Cultural Studies. Dream and Lie of Spain (1898-1922), held at the museum Reina Sofía on December 1 and 2, 2022, as part of the Picasso Celebration 1973-2023, proposed to investigate the artist's relationship with the challenges, crisis, and transformations that shook Spain from the disaster of 1898 at the end of the Moroccan War in the 1920s.
In this video four participants of the congress: Jèssica Jaques Pi, Eloy Martín Corrales, Julia Ramírez Blanco and Abigail Solomon-Godeau, address some brushstrokes on his interventions that, from cultural studies, aim to argue that Picasso was not only aware of the processes and historical transformations coeval, bohemia, nationalism-colonialism, anarchism and repressive policies on women, but that his work participates in them in a decisive way, defining in turn a style that would crystallize in the avant-garde Picasso.
