The Picasso Museum in Málaga: A Haven for Art Lovers
The Picasso Museum in Málaga, Spain, is currently a hotspot for art enthusiasts, hosting three captivating exhibitions that delve into the lives and works of Pablo Picasso, Óscar Domínguez, and Farah Atassi.
The flagship exhibition, "Pablo Picasso: The Unity of a Life's Work," is an extensive showcase of well-known and lesser-known paintings by the renowned artist. This exhibition, which runs until 30th January 2028, includes Picasso's groundbreaking masterpiece, "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" from 1907, a painting that marked the beginning of the cubist era and was inspired by a red-light district in Barcelona.
Located in the Palacio de Buenavista, the museum was founded in 1997 and offers visitors a chance to explore Picasso's early years. His birthplace near the museum contains authentic furniture, the christening gown of little Pablo, and the legendary "La Colombe," the dove of peace, designed by Picasso for the World Peace Congress in Paris in 1949.
Another exhibition, "Óscar Domínguez: Summer Workshops," runs until 13th October 2025. Domínguez, a Spanish avant-garde artist, spent most of his life in Paris, much like Picasso. His works show an affinity with Salvador Dalí and feature women as proud, temperamental, and lively. Domínguez managed to escape to France in 1936 and joined the Resistance after the German occupation of his exile country.
The third exhibition, "Farah Atassi: Genius Loci," will run until 14th December 2025. Atassi, born in 1981 in Brussels, claims a significant influence from Pablo Picasso. Her work, like Picasso's, is characterised by powerful and clear contours, a joy for color, and sensuality.
Picasso's paintings often featured women, some of whom were lovers, muses, wives, and homemakers. Marie-Françoise Gilot, a 40-years-younger painter and mother of Claude and Paloma, is depicted in Picasso's "Woman on a Sofa." Picasso's last companion and second wife, Jacqueline Roque, was frequently portrayed by him, often in profile.
Picasso's life was not without controversy. His marriage to Olga Khokhlova ended when he had an affair with Marie-Thérèse Walter, the mother of his illegitimate daughter Maya. Picasso was known for his numerous affairs and relationships with women.
Atassi, like Picasso, lived in Paris. France aims for greater European engagement, as announced by the French President. However, France's increasing military spending, as reported by Cédric Clérin, does not seem to bring more security.
The Picasso Museum in Málaga is open daily from 10 am to 7 pm. Whether you're a fan of Picasso, Domínguez, or Atassi, or simply a lover of art, this museum is a must-visit destination for your next trip to Spain.
