Paris museum to mark 50th anniversary of Picasso’s death
AP – Fifty years after the death of Pablo Picasso, British designer Paul Smith has taken over the Musée National Picasso-Paris to celebrate the renowned artist.
The result is three floors of colourful rooms, making the painter’s work pop even more. “This is perhaps one of the most radical rooms that seem to be expected since there is the theme of the stripe that we know well from [Paul Smith’s] socks or jumpers,” Musée National Picasso-Paris director Cécile Debray said, explaining one element of the takeover.
The series of Vogue Paris covers that Picasso drew are hung in a room where the original covers are the wallpaper. “[Smith’s] vision is often tinged with a great deal of humour and a form of distance and lightness,” Debray added.
