Exposition Pablo Picasso 1970-1972. 201 peintures. 23.5.-23.9.1973. Palais des Papes, Avignon. Festival d'Avignon 1973. (Avignon II)
Inside the Palais des Papes, an exhibition of Pablo Picasso’s late work is mounted for the 1973 Festival d'Avignon. The show, "Pablo Picasso 1970-1972," features 201 paintings arranged in multiple rows on the vast stone walls. The avant-garde canvases, with their distorted figures and fragmented faces, create a striking contrast with the ancient architecture of the hall. High, arched windows illuminate the collection, which includes portraits of men with hats, stylized women, and embracing couples, all separated from viewers by a simple rope barrier.
