Picasso: 50 Years Later exhibit at Elmhurst Art Museum focuses on the artist's work in context with some of his peers, then focuses on a lesser known aspect of his work.
Picasso: 50 Years Later opens September 9 and will run through January 7 of next year in the Museum’s three galleries. Pablo Picasso, Bacchanal with Kid Goat and Onlooker, 1959, linocut proof.
The first gallery introduces Picasso and some of his contemporaries with original works by Picasso, Alexander Archipenko, Wilfredo Lam, Ferdinand Leger and Joan Miro. Miro may be best known locally for his sculpture, Chicago, which stands at 69 W. Washington St., almost directly south of the Picasso sculpture on Daley Plaza.
Townsend, who has worked with a number of museums, was organizing an exhibition of Picasso prints when he talked with McKinnon about it. McKinnon, Townsend said, immediately saw the potential to add that exhibition as part of the Elmhurst program. The last gallery in the show presents works by contemporary Chicago area artists whose work Picasso influenced. They include Laura Berger, Liz Flores, Richard Hull, Leasho Johnson, and José Lerma.
