This series of drawings by the artist kept in the permanent collection of the Museu Picasso help us understand Picasso's artistic apprenticeship as a child. The show traces his early discoveries in the field of academic painting and explores his first avant-garde experiments.

The narrative thread of the exhibition hopes to reveal, through drawing, Picasso's conscientious apprenticeship as a child, his early discoveries in the world of academic painting and his first steps as an avant-garde painter in Barcelona and Paris before becoming the archetypal leader of modern art.

The series of drawings presented in the show, all of which belong to the museum's permanent collection, exemplify the institution's idiosyncrasy as well as the painstaking care that José Ruiz Blasco took to guide the beginnings of his career as an artist. It also illustrates the tenacity with which the young artist managed to become a master craftsman, a virtuous painter — all that his father expected of him.

Here he fractured his sitter’s head, neck, and torso into various planes and simple, geometric shapes but organized them within a regulated, compositional structure of diagonals. The artist further ordered the composition of this portrait by limiting his palette to cool blue, brown, and gray tones that, in juxtaposition, appear luminous and produce a gentle undulating rhythm across the surface of the painting.
Gris depicted Picasso as a painter, palette in hand. The inscription, “Hommage à Pablo Picasso,” at the bottom right of the painting demonstrates Gris’s respect for Picasso as a leader of the artistic circles of Paris and as an innov

Three Musicians is an oil painting by Diego Velázquez, a Spanish Baroque painter considered one of the great Spanish naturalists. It depicts three young men grouped around a dinner table playing music. It is painted in chiaroscuro, a Baroque painting technique that made use of the contrast between light and dark shadows to achieve a sense of volume.[1] The work is part of the collection of the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.[2]

Description

Three Musicians is one of Velázquez's earliest works, from his early Seville period. It is one of approximately ten paintings in the bodegón style that Velázquez executed before 1622, while living in Seville. Its subject is similar to that of another painting, The Farmers' Lunch. In this painting three young men are grouped around a table eating, drinking and playing music, with strong contrasts of light and darkness around the figures. The light falls from the left, creating sharp shadows and intense
