This exhibition opens in an internationa cultural context marked by a renewed interest in the work of Picasso，as shown in particu Jar by the outstanding exhibitions presented this year in Mad rid and Vienna.

This new attention to the retevance of Picasso's work clearly reflects his pre-eminent position in the history of twentieth-century art，undoubtedly because he was an inexhaustible artist always searching for answers to new questions.
