An exhibition, a work. It is the turn of Picasso and one of the greatest masterpieces of modern art. A hundred years after his first draft on canvas, Pablo Picasso created the painting The Three Dancers. A milestone of modern art dated 1925, this work is the fulcrum of an exhibition that tells the radical break of Picasso with his serene and classical phase and the beginning of a new period of emotional violence and expressionist distortion. Agony and Ecstasy are two themes that intertwine and merge in a powerful and at the same time suspended, melancholic expressiveness. Picasso finds himself at a crossroads between madness, philosophy and the avant-garde: a place where identity is upset and the body itself is put into play. The Tate Modern exhibition tells the story of this fundamental masterpiece through a selection of key works from throughout Picasso's career, exploring themes of sex, death and the politics of dance. An exhibition also enriched by a lively programme of live performances that takes inspiration from one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and brings The Three Dancers back to life 100 years after its creation.
