NYC - MoMA: Pablo Picasso's ReposeThe Picasso Museum in Barcelona is the heart of the old city on the Carrer Moncada and since its recent expansion now extends over a row of five palaces Gothic once – in late medieval times – home to aristocrats of Barcelona.

Picasso, though born in Malaga, moves to Barcelona his family in 1895 and Barcelona was important to his formative years with his first public exhibition at the Quatre Gats in 1897. The museum opened in 1963, home a large collection of his early works.

The collection does not immediately strike one as being very broad. Among the first work, there are a couple of curious paintings of Barceloneta beach as it was 100 years ago, please complete with donkeys and no benchmarks It see now.

Probably the most famous work as the collection of Barcelona are generally included Las Meninas, a series of 58 books analyzing Velázquez painting Las Menas, whose chronological collection of the museum suddenly jumps. The Picasso Museum where it is known is the art gallery’s most visited Barcelona and responds to over 1,000,000 visitors per year. This gallery houses one of the most comprehensive collection of works of art by Picasso.

Museum curators have organized the pictures in chronological order of first days of Picasso’s last works. Organize pictures of this way a person gives an interesting insight into the evolution of Picasso’s thinking over time and how he developed the distinctive designs it is famous.

The Picasso Museum in Barcelona undoubtedly confirms the ties that unite Pablo Picasso with the city of Barcelona. He did not finished only a solid academic training here, but the artistic effervescence that he felt the city was the starting point which opened the way for him to modernity. The museum owns the most important and comprehensive collections of early works by Pablo Picasso and education, particularly those that made between 1895 and 1904, years during which the young artist lived in Barcelona.

The museum has a collection of the most impressive works and a very good library. The Picasso Museum is across Via Laietana, down Carrer de la Princesa, and right on Carrer Montcada – a street known for Barcelona, the medieval palaces the most elegant. Picasso spent several of his formative years in Barcelona, and this collection, while not one of the best the world is particularly strong on his early work. Displays include childhood sketches, pictures of beautiful pink and blue periods, and years 1950 famous Cubist variations on Velázquez’s Las Meninas (Ladies in Waiting).

The Barcelona Picasso Museum clearly confirms the ties that bind Pablo Picasso with the city of Barcelona. It has not only completed a solid academic training here, but the artistic effervescence that he experienced in the city was the starting point that has opened for him the path to modernity.

The museum has continued to grow thanks to donations from all over the world and the artist himself. The work of the period is best represented is that of the artist’s childhood and youth, First Communion and Science and Charity.
