Picasso

The Man of a Thousand Masks

On the occasion of the project PICASSO2006BCN, The Barbier-Mueller Pre-Columbian Art Museum of Barcelona organised an atypical exhibition, that accompanied the master with sculptures done by artists from the tribal world, pre-Columbian America or ancient Mediterranean.

It represents a unique opportunity to present for the first time in Spain a wooden head sculpted by Picasso in 1907 and the object that served as the inspiration: an Iberian stone head that dates back to the 3rd century BC.
