Picasso Museum [antikvár]

"It's like being in the Louvre and an ethnographical collection at the same time, not In a museum devoted to one man alone," Werner Spies w/rote about the Musée Picasso. "Life and wiorks in all their multiplicity are on display, Picasso had experienced this strange sensation himself: 'One has the impression of discovering an unknoviin civilization."' This is exactly the feeling the visitor has on walking into the museum. Fascinated yet disconcerted, one enters a pantheon in which the exempla are not those of our ordinary worid. Our eye is forced to look at things differently. A recent public survey showed to our astonishment that 60% of our visitors did not realize they were in a place devoted to the wori< of one man. They thought they were in a museum dedicated to modern art in general, a kind of piquant anthology of the history of forms from 1900 to the present day This misapprehension may be due to the absent-mindedness or naivety of the average visitor, but nevertheless reveals an underlying truth: the equation "Picasso - modem art" has existed for a long time, as if this man had been capable of including all the art forms of his epoch in his own work All? Almost all - he certainly asked all the questions that gave birth to them, one after another, and every now and then, in this etemal quest, he paused to offer us a masterpiece. When confronted with this wealth of work it is understandable that other museums actually devoted to modem art may sometimes appear rather bland, like some watered-down version. The whole worid in a nutshell Is a fitting description of the Musée Picasso, this modest-sized, historically rich mansion that houses the artistic inspiration of our entire era The museum owes Its existence to two men. One Michel Guy, a former minister who chose and allocated the building - and the exuberant baroque mansion protected by two sphinxes suits Picasso's personality and works perfectly - and the other, a museum curator, Dominique Bozo, who selected the works for the dation with such discernment A third protagonist should be mentioned - the late Roland Simounet, the architect who respected the Hôtel Salé's volumes, who let in the light and carved out extra space without destroying anything. And lastly, there was the more discreet contribution from the artist's friend Diego GiacomettI, who designed the delicate candelabra in white resin, along with the chairs, settees, and tables in Pompeian bronze. Ten years after its creation, between four and five hundred thousand annual visitors make their way to the Musée Picasso to discover this miniature Louvre of an unknown civilization. ? 1.
