PICASSO IN A NEW LIGHT
By Sir Paul Smith – From 07.03.23 – 27.08.23
In a new exhibit at the Musée National Picasso during Paris Fashion Week, British designer Paul Smith has transformed the traditional white walls of the gallery into a vibrant and playful space that showcases some of the artist’s most famous works in a fresh, inventive, and Instagram-worthy way.
Smith was given “carte blanche” to art direct the exhibition, which marks the 50th anniversary of Pablo Picasso’s death, while the display was curated by Cécile Debray and Joanne Snrech. Visitors can immerse themselves in the exhibit, which explores Picasso’s periods from Cubism through the Blue Period, with each room offering a more experiential and interactive experience.
Using vintage wallpaper, colorful stripes, posters, and collages of plates, Smith has successfully blurred the lines between artwork and object, playing on decorative motifs in Picasso’s paintings and creating an exhibit that is a must-see for both art and fashion lovers alike.
