Everything is mixed up with Picasso, everything flows and converges, but in 1906 a personal poetics developed quickly and emerged from within itself. We’re dealing with nothing less than a reinvention of the artistic experience. The project Picasso 1906: The Turning Point aims to look at Picasso’s first major contribution to modern art through contemporary eyes. Works by Picasso are displayed throughout the show alongside items from different periods of European culture and various examples of material culture taken from African societies and cultures, objects that are now treated as “works of art.” The relationship between body and culture—between the body and “transculturality”—was fundamental to his 1906 poetics.
