“It’s a collective project to celebrate Picasso in a new, kaleidoscopic way, advocating for dialogue between the Mediterranean’s shores—not hierarchically, but instead in a way that represents the identity of every museum,” Laurent Le Bon, director of the Museé Picasso in Paris, said this past Monday, when the project was presented at a conference at the museum.

“It’s often the case, with Picasso that we think we know everything about him, but there is still a lot left to say. Just like the Roman God Janus, Picasso always ends up showing that he has two sides—light and shadow,” added Le Bon, who spearheaded the project.
