Picasso: the Mediterranean Years is an astonishing and breathtaking exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery, in Brittania Street, 5 minutes from St Pancras.
It feels like a really big show but includes just a tiny fragment of Picasso's gargantuan output from the late 40's to mid 50's, when he was at his most prolific, living in South of France and domestically content. It demonstrates his super-human versatility, with works including paintings, sculptures, ceramics, posters and drawings, gathered mostly from the Picasso family and curated by his old chum John Richardson.
I absolutely loved the show, I felt a really strong connection with the tender and loving paintings of his family and children and it was refreshingly free of interpretation, barriers and the curators hand.
