Summary/Abstract: The exhibition at the MARe/Museum of Recent Art in Bucharest titled The Picasso Effect (September 27, 2023 – January 8, 2024), commemorates the 50th anniversary of Picasso’s passing. It featured 46 invaluable works by Picasso alongside 65 pieces by 37 contemporary Romanian artists, profoundly influenced by Picasso’s legacy. The exhibition comprises paintings, sculptures, video art, prints, and sketches both by Picasso and Romanian artists.The space itself echoes the artist’s life, exemplified by the striking contrast between the pink walls and the remarkable blue tint of the artworks, reminiscent of Picasso’s pink and blue eras. Another interesting aspect of the space is the grouping of various themes or subjects from Picasso’s life in different rooms of the museum.
