From OurBrisbane.com.au:
“You can see the paintings, drawings, monotypes, objects and prints that Picasso collected by artists including Paul Cezanne, Salvador Dali, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modgliani, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Rousseau and many others.”

“Information beside the paintings explain how and when Picasso acquired them. Many paintings, drawings and prints came via art dealers, his banker and with direct swaps with his artist friends (his friends included Matisse!). How wonderful to have witnessed the conversations then, something along the lines of “I’ll swap my masterpiece for your masterpiece…” For example, Matisse swapped his beautiful canvas of Marguerite for Picasso’s Pitcher, Bowl and Lemon.”

Picasso used these creations as tools, serving as inspiration to inspire artistic expression. This type of exhibit offers a unique perspective for assessing the innovative master painter’s evolution.
