Pablo Picasso,The modern art was revolutionary for many things - the presence of various groups and movements, techniques, the specific choice of themes, etc. The artists were influenced by various phenomena, as they found their inspiration in literature, philosophy or mythology. One of the most prominent figures of modernism who constructed his grand oeuvre out of various references was indeed Pablo Picasso.This artist is primarily known for the inauguration of Cubism, which is certainly the most influential early 20th-century art movement. Aside from a highly innovative technique and approach to the matters of structure and form, Picasso?s practice was marked by the recurrent presence of the figure of the Minotaur. A huge number of paintings, sculptures were focused around this fascinating mythical creature, so it is not strange that a notable number of essays was published on this particular subject.A spectacular survey on the relationship between Picasso and Minotaur is about to happen at the Palais Lumi?re in Evian. Under the title Picasso, the Minotaur's studio, this exhibition attempts to reveal a lasting interest in the representation of this figure not only through the works of Picasso but the works of other artists as well. Over one hundred paintings, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, engravings, and tapestries, will display the interpretation and articulation of the myth of Minotaur in Picasso?s oeuvre and other approaches through a historical perspective.
