BOISGELOUP : THE NORMAN WORSHOP OF PICASSO

Rouen Musée des Beaux-Arts

In partnership with the National Picasso Museum in Paris

In June 1930, Picasso purchased the Boisgeloup Château near Gisors.

Whilst continuing to live in Paris, he turned this place into a temporary residence, in particular arranging his first sculpture workshop there. Secretly in love with Marie-Thérèse Walter, he experienced an intensely creative period that was also expressed through painting, drawing, engraving and even photography. This rare moment, when inspiration is renewed with a secret love, is revealed in France for the first time in an exhibition that brings together almost two hundred works and documents, thanks to both the National Museum Picasso in Paris and private collections.

In addition to this exhibition, a whole season devoted to modernity will be organised within the Métropole Rouen Normandie, in partnership with universities and the Ville et Pays d’Art et d’Histoire (Towns and Regions of Art and History) label.
