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

An exhibition of 201 paintings by Pablo Picasso, created between 1970 and 1972, is held within a grand hall of the Palais des Papes during the 1973 Festival d'Avignon. The modernist canvases are hung in a dense, salon-style display against the ancient stone walls, illuminated by spotlights from the floor. Visitors observe the artwork, creating a scene that captures a striking contrast between the austere historic architecture and the vibrant, fragmented perspectives of Picasso's late style.
