The Museu Picasso, Barcelona and the Fundació Palau. Centre d’art are pleased to welcome the III Picasso Congress 2017, an initiative of the Musée Picasso, Paris that will be held for the first time in Barcelona and Caldes d’Estrac.
The congress is scheduled for April 27 through 29 and will welcome academics, researchers and scholars from all over the world, offering them a forum in which to share their knowledge and expertise on Picasso.
The organizing committee welcomes proposals for papers addressing the topic of “Picasso and Identity.” In addition to scholars, critics, and curators, we hope to attract a wide variety of participants, including artists, writers, and students. We seek submissions from our globally diverse community.
We encourage candidates to address the topic of Identity in the most creative terms, without being constrained by conventional definitions. We offer the following suggestions of themes within the topic of Identity as a means to stimulate proposals, without seeking to limit lines of inquiry.
Approaches to Picasso and Identity:
- The Role of Picasso’s Biographers
- Popular Conceptions of Picasso in the Mass Media and Film
- Picasso’s Engagement with Art History and Myth
- Collaboration versus Independence in the Formation of Identity: writers, performers, and other artists
