Featuring more than 130 works, it offers a rare opportunity to stand face to face with iconic portraits while following Picasso’s treatment of figuration from early Cubist experiments to classical portraits, Surrealist works and his bold late paintings, exploring modern art’s enduring themes of love, identity, creation and transformation.
