The Nasher Museum presents a groundbreaking exhibition examining Pablo Picasso's lifelong relationship with writers and the many ways in which language affected his work. Picasso and the Allure of Language comprises some 60 works in all media by Picasso, as well as select examples by fellow artist Georges Braque, and photographs, letters, manuscripts and book projects by a diverse group of artists and writers.

Together, these works illuminate Picasso's deep and multidimensional interest in writing and language, which gives new meaning to highlights of his lifetime of work.

I never knew that about Picasso; the writing, I mean. I am ignorant on many things arty! :) I like Picasso's art tho' - and I am not alone. ;) I'd love to read his written stuff.

Very interesting Lena, I'd have loved this, I'm sure.

Kay, I had no idea the guy could write poetry. I love his painting to death (Les Demoiselles d'Avignon)...
