Picasso. The Sketchbooks

2020

«Je suis le cahier» – ‘I am the sketchbook’: this declaration of identification that Picasso wrote in 1907, in one of the sketchbooks directly linked to Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, attests to the great importance he attached to the laboratory of ideas constituted by the carnets in which he sketched and drew. This project affords us a unique opportunity to immerse ourselves in the inexhaustible curiosity of the great artist. The nineteen sketchbooks (1.300 drawings) on show in this exceptional catalogue make it clear how important it was for the artist to be able to play and experiment to find formal and compositional solutions he needed. They also are a testament to the vivacity and speed of his gesture and his mastery of media and techniques.
