This booklet for a display at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels focuses on Picasso's relationship with abstraction. It addresses the important stages that punctuated the links between Picasso's work and the history of abstract art, with more than 120 extraordinary works of art in dialogue with some of the great works of the early 20th century abstraction movement. It spans the years from his early Cubist explorations in 1907, when he was working alongside 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon,' to his latter work, which sometimes borders on gestural painting.
