“Picasso: Prints in the 20th Century”

The word genius gets tossed around too often—I myself used it recently to praise a particularly delicious hamburger—but when you’re talking about Pablo Picasso, it’s the only thing to call him. “Guernica” aside, he worked in so many disciplines and reinvented his approach so many times, it’s easy to overlook just how profound and wide-ranging his influence really is. That also makes it necessary for any exhibition that hopes to have a coherent focus to zoom in on just one aspect of his artistry. This MIA exhibit gathers around six dozen of his prints, etchings and lithographs, spanning nearly 70 years. Of course, anyone with the least interest in art already knows something about Picasso, so you might well wonder if you really ought to bother with yet another exploration of the most famous artist of the last century. Well, of course you should. Picasso might have invented Cubism, but he’ll never be square. MIA, (612) 870-3200
