Picasso Museum

In Inheritance taxes : 203 paintings, 158 sculptures, 16 collages, 19 bas reliefs, 88 ceramics and more than 1500 sketches and 1600 engravings along with 30 notebooks. When it opened at the beautifully restored Hotel sale in the Marais, the press hailed it as a “Museum for Picasso’s�, and that’s what it is the state acquired the world’s greatest Picasso collection in lieu of $50 million. These works span some 75 years of the artist’s life and even changing style. The range of paintings includes a remarkable 1901 self-portrait. The crucifixion and Nude in a Red Armohair, Reclining Nude, Le Baiser, and man with a Guitar, all painted at Mougins on the Rivera in 1969 and 1970. Stroll through the handsome museum seeking your own favorite-perhaps a wicked one Jeane garcon a la langouste-young man with a Lobster, painted in Paris in 1941. There are also several intriguing studies for Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, which shocked the establishment and launched cubism in 1907. Here also Picasso’s own treasure trove of art with works by Cezanne,Rousseau, Braque, Derain, and Miro Picasso was facinated with African masks.
