Paris, Jul 21 (EFE).-(Camera: María Valderrama) British art critic Paul Gravett once said that Pablo Picasso spent his latter years regretting never having turned his hand to comics given that caricatures and satirical vignettes had provided a huge inspiration in his youth. The Picasso-Paris Museum is exploring how the art form, which he devoured as a consumer, crept into his own creations in a new exhibition, Picasso and the Comic Strip, which opened Tuesday.FOOTAGE OF THE EXHIBITION PICASSO AND THE COMICS.SOUNDBITES OF JOHAN POPELARD, CURATOR OF THE EXHIBITION.Translation:- "It is the first exhibition on the matter. We knew from a considerable amount of testimonies that Picasso was interested in comics and it is the first time that we delve into their relationship. They are contemporary, modern comics were born at the same time as Picasso and throughout the 20th century they meet again at various times and the two of them cross paths. In a newspaper, there is a record of that phrase in which Picasso would have said that his only regret was not having made comics. We wanted to go beyond that proclamation and show that although he had never published comics there was some appropriation of the comic codes found in his work. "
