Exhibition "Pablo Picasso 1969-1970" (Avignon I), Palais des Papes, Avignon, 1.5.-30.9.1970.

Inside the Palais des Papes in Avignon, Pablo Picasso's vibrant paintings from 1969-1970 are displayed against ancient, rough-hewn stone walls. This exhibition, held from May to September 1970, created a powerful juxtaposition between the historic setting and modern art. Cool light from a tall mullioned window contrasts with a warm spotlight illuminating the canvases. In the lower right, two visitors observe the works, one silhouetted before a large, predominantly red painting, their form casting long shadows.
