BUENOS AIRES.-The Museo de la Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero
(UNTREF) presented to the public more than 60 drawings and prints by
the great Spanish painter Pablo Picasso. This exhibition has been made
possible by an international cultural exchange and will remain on view
until September.
The exhibition, titled "Picasso: The Look of Desire", is a review of
one of the most powerful drives in Picasso: the desire, more than 60
works that make up sections such as the reconstructed body, the bodies
observed; the bodies created; the eternal feminine and female loves, and
the quiet secret, among others.
According to Lourdes Moreno, director of the Fundación Pablo Ruiz
Picasso Casa Natal Museum of the City of Málaga, Spain, the entity that
made possible the realization of the exhibition, the "desire" of the
artist is to take him to "work compulsively, trying to appropriate the
individual, the female body, the object and beauty. "
"And at the same time, the destruction of it, - she pointed out,
Picasso becomes permanent synthesis and antithesis of himself."
The exhibition was officially opened on Friday with a ceremony
presided by the Dean of the university, Anibal Jozami, Secretary of
Culture of Argentina, Jorge Coscia, members of the Foundation and
numerous special guests from Malaga.
As a counterpart, a project was designed to show a significant
example of Argentine plastic arts and to that end, works were chosen by
Antonio Berni, curated by Diana B. Wechsler (Untref), to be presented
next October at the Picasso Museum in Malaga.
"The economic and logistical effort, accompanied by the
dissemination for public school students in the greater Buenos Aires
area and the interior of the province, the center puts the goal of our
university as a necessary engine of democratization of culture in our
country," said Jozami in the framework of the event.
