The Longmont Museum’s newest exhibit, “A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso,” has been extended by popular demand! Originally scheduled to close May 4, the exhibit will now run through May 25, 2025.
The exhibit, featuring more than 60 original works created from 1923 to 1972, takes visitors on a tour through Picasso’s printmaking. It showcases three key stages of Picasso’s career and explores how he tackled themes like love, war, power and humanity.
“The community has really embraced this special exhibition about an important artist and all of the complementary programming we have offered to dive deep into Paris in the 1920s,” said Museum Director Erik Mason. “We are thrilled to be able to offer three more weeks for visitors to see the exhibit for the first time, or to come back again!”
From detailed early etchings to bold lithographs and inventive linocuts, the exhibit highlights Picasso’s constant experimentation with master printmakers such as Georges Lacourière, Fernand Mourlot and Hidalgo Arnera. Visitors will see not only famous images but also Picasso’s transformative approach to each technique, offering a rare look at his creative process.
The installation also features original ceramics created by Picasso, on loan from a local collector.
