Lucien Clergue – the Intimate Picasso


Lucien Clergue’s photographs of Picasso are social documents as much as they are portraits, reflecting a very particular time, place and sensibility in Twentieth Century history. They also reveal the nature of a friendship between artists: an unwavering respect and affection betwixt the photographer artist and his subject, the most influential artist of the twentieth century. For all of the images conjured by the name Picasso, it is rare to see him presented as Lucien Clergue captures him: human, generous and humane.

Exhibit ends March 21st
