We are not lying when we affirm that there is a certain weariness and saturation of Picasso after the avalanche of quotations on the 50th anniversary of his death.

The Year of Picasso comes to an end. 365 days of homage to the universal Malaga-born artist on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his death, in 1973, at the age of 91.

The Year of Picasso culminates with the exhibition 'Picasso. 1906. The Great Transformation'. An appointment at the Reina Sofia Museum that brings forward a year the birth of modernity while illustrating the painter in transcultural and gender key.

The King and Queen of Spain inaugurated this Tuesday the exhibition "Picasso 1906. The Great Transformation" at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, which closes the official program of international exhibitions to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of the artist from Malaga.

The Reina Sofia opens this Tuesday "The great transformation", an exhibition with more than 120 pieces that discover the "homoeroticism" in the painting of the creator from Malaga who gave birth to modernity.

'Picasso 1906. The great transformation' reveals a painter attracted by homoeroticism, black art and the mask, and reflects his relations in Paris with the homosexual artistic environment.

More than 120 works from private collections and museums such as the MoMA, the MET, the Louvre or the Prado, make up the exhibition that opens today at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, which analyzes the year 1906 as the year of the great transformation of Pablo Ruiz Picasso.

The museum closes the program of the 50th anniversary of the artist's death with an exhibition at the Reina Sofia of a key period in his life and work. 

The last great proposal of the 1973-2023 Picasso Celebration brings to the Reina Sofia an exhibition of theses on the year in which art swung into the abyss.

Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso, who maintained a close friendship for more than 50 years, saw how Barcelona brought together part of their work in monographic art centers.
