For Pablo Picasso, The Three Dancers marked a radical break away from his serene, classical phase and the beginning of a new period of emotional violence and expressionist distortion. It sits at a crossroads between madness, philosophy and the avant-garde: a place where identity is disrupted and the body itself is at stake.
This exhibition tells the story of this landmark painting through a selection of key works from across Picasso’s career, exploring themes of sex, death, and the politics of dance.
This one hour lecture will explore the themes of the exhibition and is a wonderful accompaniment to visiting this unique exhibition. The lecture will be held in the Starr Cinema and entry to the exhibition is included in the ticket price.
