  • Paris hosts a joint exhibition of Picasso and Rodin

    Paris, Mar 11 (EFE).-(Camera: Martí Rodríguez) Although it is likely that they would never met in person, Picasso and Rodin agreed on their genius and their experimental way of understanding art, a revolutionary vision that Paris now recovers in a double exhibition that extols the links between artists. FOOTAGE OF THE EXHIBITION AND SOUNDBITES BY CURATOR Virginie PerdrissotTRANSLATION"Picasso and Rodin were two artists for whom renewal was something very constant. They were both in perpetual renewal. Their art never had a stage that could be classified in a predefined category. That is why the exhibition insists a lot on that idea of movement and we wanted to show the multidisciplinary character of his work and all the themes of his creation. And we did not limit ourselves to showing a Picasso painter on one side and a sculptor Rodin on the other, but rather show that both renewed their work with graphic arts, drawings, ceramics or photography ...

Translation:-"Lucienne Bloch was a painter. She met Frida and Diego because she became Diego Rivera's assistant to learn how to paint murals. But she was not a photographer. For her, they were family photos, they were photos of life. It was not a report, she did not even a commission on Frida Kahlo."- "I had seen in New York a great exhibition about her in which they presented her clothes, her jewelry, her makeup, her corsets ... And next to the clothes on mannequins there were photos of Frida and there was the one at the entrance from the gallery, which I call 'My Frida'. And when I came back to Paris, I posted it on Instagram. And the granddaughter wrote to me and said: 'I'm very proud to see the photos of my grandmother traveling to France. It's wonderful. Thank you. 'Afterward, I didn't let her go anymore. We quickly talked about an exhibition project."- "And I'm really very surprised to see how many people appreciate this person and come from other places. When they come they say: 'I'm going to see the Frida exhibition.' It's not Frida Kahlo. As if it were someone they knew."
