Picasso and Modern British Art

4 August – 4 November 2012

The blockbuster show of the year comes to Edinburgh in August. Featuring some of Picasso’s greatest works Picasso and Modern British Art is the first exhibition to explore Picasso’s lifelong connections with Britain, looking at the artist’s reputation here and the way he influenced Britain’s own modern artists.

Comprising over 150 paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures from major, world-wide collections, the show includes over 60 works by Picasso, with masterpieces from all periods of his career, plus striking works by the British artists he influenced, including Francis Bacon, David Hockney, Henry Moore, Ben Nicholson, Duncan Grant and Graham Sutherland.

Originating at Tate Britain, this pioneering exhibition marks the first time the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and Tate have collaborated on a major show.
