SUMMARY:Picasso Landscapes: Out of Bounds
LOCATION:Mint Museum Uptown
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Picasso Landscapes: Out of Bounds is the first museum exhibition to explore
Pablo Picasso’s deep engagement with landscape subjects and his expansive
approach to this traditional genre.
Through a selection of more
than 40 works spanning Picasso’s full career, Picasso Landscapes: Out of Bo
unds, organized by American Federation of the Arts, is the first of only t
wo venues in the United States — and the only venue on the East Coast — to
feature this exceptional exhibition filled with works from private collecti
ons and international museums together. The dynamic grouping of works in th
e exhibition offers visitors an unparalleled window into the artist’s creat
ive process, from his earliest days in art school (1896 when then artist wa
s just 15 years old) to months before his passing in 1973.
Assem
bling some of Picasso’s greatest landscape compositions in one traveling ex
hibition, Picasso Landscapes: Out of Bounds is part of The Picasso Celebrat
ion 1973-2023, structured around some 50 exhibitions and events that are be
ing held in renowned cultural institutions in Europe and North America to c
oincide with the 50th anniversary of the artist’s death.
The Min
t’s ticketed exhibition is the only museum exhibition that will be on view
in the United States April 8, the date of Picasso’s passing that is part of
The Picasso Celebration 1973-2023.
Picasso was committed to dep
icting landscapes throughout his entire life. From his earliest days in art
school until the year before his death, landscape remained the prime genre
through which he mediated his perception of the world and which shaped his
own creative evolution. Landscape served as a catalyst for his formal expe
rimentation, including early Cubism, as a field in which to investigate urb
an modernity, as an interface between humanity and nature, as a ground for
direct sculptural intervention, as a space of personal withdrawal, as an in
viting terrain for elegiac scenes, and as a territory of resistance and fli
ght.
Within Picasso’s vast oeuvre, landscapes have received the
least scholarly attention. This art-historical dearth notwithstanding, to i
gnore Picasso’s landscapes is to miss a crucial dimension of his achievemen
t. Landscapes offer the clearest lens for understanding Picasso’s attentive
ness to his cultural milieu as well as to his ongoing engagement with art-h
istorical traditions.
This examination of Picasso’s landscapes h
ighlights the artist’s attention to tensions between humanity and nature, a
nd to the changing countryside being reshaped by industrialization. Picasso
expressed this awareness throughout his landscape production, beginning ea
rly in the 20th century in Spain, where powerful forces of nature met the e
xcitement of urban growth in his paintings of Málaga, Gósol, Horta de Ebro,
and Barcelona.
The systematic destruction wrought by World War
II and years of occupation color the artist’s Paris cityscapes of the 1940s
and the atmosphere of works such as Winter Landscape (1950). Picasso’s gra
nd Côte d’Azur landscapes done at the end of his career show the urbanizati
on of a region where, in earlier decades, he had captured the lives of peas
ants and laborers. The devastation of the Anthropocene and the political ri
se of the ecological movement in France coincided with Picasso’s last lands
cape of 1972, an immense work that reads like an epitaph to both his creati
ve and social life.
Organized by the American Federation of Arts
with guest curator Laurence Madeline, Picasso Landscapes: Out of Bounds wi
ll be organized into sections, which address various phases, approaches, or
themes in the artist’s landscape painting, and which yield new insights in
to his creative production and broader involvement with the world of his ti
me. Through this in-depth study of Picasso’s diverse landscapes, it becomes
possible to reclaim the genre’s primacy in his work and to affirm his keen
focus on the shifting twentieth-century cultural backdrop.
Cultural o
rganizations working with the Mint to create a multilayered experience of i
nnovative programming, include the Charlotte Symphony, Bechtler Museum of M
odern Art, Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture, Thea
tre Charlotte, and JazzArts Charlotte.
