This weekend through May 24, 2009, the Yale University Art Gallery will be presenting a rich complement of public programs in conjunction with the groundbreaking exhibition Picasso and the Allure of Language.
Including some seventy works in all media by Picasso, as well as select examples by fellow artist Georges Braque and photographs, letters, manuscripts, and book projects by a diversity of artists and writers, the exhibition reveals Picasso’s deep and multidimensional interest in writing and language, and the many ways in which this transformed his work.
All programs are free and open to the public, and take place at Yale University Art Gallery, 1111 Chapel Street (between York and High Streets), New Haven, Connecticut (Map). For more information, please visit http://artgallery.yale.edu.
