Exposition Pablo Picasso 1970-1972. 201 peintures. 23.5.-23.9.1973. Palais des Papes, Avignon. Festival d'Avignon 1973. (Avignon II)

Unframed canvases from Pablo Picasso's final creative period (1970–1972) are displayed against the rustic stone walls of the Palais des Papes. The paintings, part of a major posthumous exhibition held for the 1973 Festival d'Avignon, feature stylized musketeers and cavaliers in a predominantly muted palette. The Cubist-style portraits, with their bold black outlines and distorted perspectives, rest on simple shelves, creating a stark contrast with the historic setting.
