Motherhood by Pablo Picasso

The subject of mother and child runs through the various stages of Picasso’s artistic production, although it appears more frequently in his early works.

Picasso's Maternities belong to the artist's neoclassical period, during which he developed a style reminiscent of classicism and used mythological images such as centaurs, minotaurs, nymphs, and fauns.

He created at least a dozen pictures inspired by and dedicated to motherhood and the special relationship between mother and child.

Françoise Gilot (1921-2023)

A French artist of the post-World War II School of Paris, Françoise Gilot is perhaps most famous as a muse and lover to Pablo Picasso.

While her story may be inextricably linked to 20th century art’s most towering figure, Gilot’s remarkable life and vast oeuvre deserves recognition on its own merits.

In a career spanning over seven decades, Gilot’s distinct language of form and color reveals an enduring preoccupation with both the personal and universal forces of nature, time, space and mythology.
