"While Picasso’s oeuvre technically falls outside of the Frick’s traditional exhibitions of Italian Renaissance, the exhibition draws parallels between the two. Not only does the showcase underscore parallels between Picasso’s work and his favorite later influences Paul Cézanne and Paul Gauguin, but Curator Susan Galassi explains in the accompanying catalog essay that Picasso may have attended the Old Master Drawings exhibition at the Louvre. Also on view in France at the time were the drawings of Jean-Auguste Dominque Ingres, which continued to inform Picasso’s work for many years." - Adriano
