Celebrate Picasso and the Progressive Proof: Linocut Prints from a Private Collection on opening day! Members are invited to be the first to see OKCMOA’s latest exhibition highlighting three prints and their various proofs exploring Picasso’s artistic process and one of printmaking’s most fascinating and demanding mediums, the linoleum cut print.

Also opening on August 24, don’t forget to check out our new single-gallery installation of Auguste Rodin’s The Three Shades, on loan to OKCMOA from a private collection.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Picasso and the Progressive Proof: Linocut Prints from a Private Collection
August 24, 2024-January 5, 2025
Organized by Townsend Art Advisory LLC, Picasso and the Progressive Proof: Linocut Prints from a Private Collection examines the printmaking output of legendary Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) in the last years of his life. The exhibition highlights three prints and their various proofs—Portrait of a Young Woman after Cranach the Younger II, Pique II, and Bacchanal with Kid Goat and Onlooker—that illustrate Picasso’s unique printmaking process as well as his innovative contributions to the practice itself. The artist’s prints also demonstrate his enduring interest in themes that dominated his long and prolific career: his Spanish heritage, mythology and the Classical past, and the work of European Old Masters.
