Showing some forty juxtapositions of masterworks by both artists,
the catalogue illuminates the encounter of Pablo Picasso
(1881-1973) with the old master El Greco (1541- 1614), born
Domenikos Theotokopoulos in Crete. El Greco's unmistakable painting
style won him considerable fame in his day. Soon after his death,
however, his work was largely forgotten. It was only around 1900
that an El Greco revival was launched, with Picasso serving on the
front lines. His engagement with the Greek-Spanish master not only
went far deeper than has previously been assumed but also lasted
much longer. From his first encounter with El Greco's works shortly
before 1900 until the end of his life, Picasso not only referenced
but engaged in a fascinating artistic dialogue with the old master.
