The exhibition is <<Picasso et les maitres>> - Picasso and the Old Masters. Starts on the 8th (yesterday) and runs for four months. It is about the influence of Old Masters such as Titian, Velasquez, Manet, Goya, Rembrandt etc on Picasso and how he created variations on themes by them. It is supposed to be the Parisian Blockbuster exhibition this Winter.
