Picasso & Modern British Art

London's Tate Britain presents Picasso and Modern British Art, the first exhibition to explore Pablo Picasso's impact on British art. This exhibition is taking place between 15^th of February and 15^th of July.

I wanted to attend this exhibition for a month and finally I made my way to the Tate Britain. The exhibition is fantastic that fitures not only Picasso’s works but also the works of those artists who were inspired by Picasso, such as: Duncan Grant, Wyndham Lewis, Ben Nicholson, Henry Moore, Francis Bacon, Graham Sutherland and David Hockney. In this exhibition we can see the influence of Picasso on a modern British art. Even today, Picasso remains one of the most important artistic geniuses of the twentieth century, that changed the face of modern art. Visiting this exhibition, I could trace the journey of Pablo Picasso to Britain and how his reputation developed in this country, from his first visit to London in 1919, through the time when London was “unready” for Picasso, and to his post-war reputation when Picasso finally became established in Britain.

If you haven’t been at this exhibition yet, you HAVE to go- this exhibition is a treat!
