Two paintings by Pablo Picasso made their debut at a public institution this month in New Hampshire. On loan from private collections, “L’Homme au béret basque” and “The Two Children” are now on view at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester through the end of October.
“Visitors and members have long felt a sense of pride about having a major painting by Pablo Picasso in their midst, here in New Hampshire,” said Jordana Pomeroy, director and CEO of the Currier. “You don’t have to go to Boston for art. In the heart of Manchester, you can now make a personal connection with not just one Picasso painting, but three.”
With the Picasso gem from the Currier collection, “Woman Seated in a Chair,” the works on loan anchor a new exhibition exploring the intersections of Picasso’s personal life and artistic career, “Personal Mythologies: Picasso in the 1940s and ‘50s.”
“One work offers a moment with an artist, but three tell a story,” said Anastasia Kinigopoulo, curator of modern and contemporary art. “In a world increasingly dominated by AI, this exhibition centers the human experiences behind the artist’s work, revealing an artist transformed by two decades of profound personal and artistic change.”
“Personal Mythologies: Picasso in the 1940s and ‘50s” is on view through the end of October in the Modern West gallery at the Currier Museum of Art.
