The Longmont Museum invites visitors to explore the genius of Pablo Picasso in their newest exhibition, “A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso.”
The exhibit, featuring more than 60 works 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.
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.
“A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso” opens with a reception the evening of Friday, Jan. 31 and runs through May 4, 2025. Cost is $8 for adults and $5 for students, seniors and veterans. Longmont Museum members and children age 3 and under are free. Admission is 25 cents with a qualifying EBT or SNAP card.
