Paintings

There are over 300 paintings alone to enjoy, and visitors familiar with his works will recognize his Self-portrait, La Celestina, The Kiss, as well as large nudes, matadors and musicians. Large Cubist paintings are also on show from the Man with Guitar and later his Surrealist works and those representing the Spanish Civil War.

Sculptures

The sculptures on show at the Picasso Museum mostly came from his personal studio and so are lesser-known, such as his Cubist wood and bronze sculptures, large plaster busts and wire-framed models. On display are the Bull’s Head, the Man with Sheep and The Baboon and Young.

Prints

Picasso loved to rework the basic medium of paper and experimented with it in various ways, such as pasting, ripping, layering and printing. In his personal collection alone there were over 3,900 extra pieces of art that he had fashioned from just paper, highlighting his skill of employing different techniques to turn one piece of paper into something completely new.
