The first Picasso in Milan: an exhibition at the Museo del Novecento on art, politics and international commitment

The Museo del Novecento in Milan presents the exhibition focus “Il primo Picasso di Milano. A musketeer between revolution, anti-Francoism and international solidarity", a research project dedicated to the first work by Pablo Picasso to enter the collections of the Municipality of Milan.

The exhibition investigates the artistic, political and social value of the work, highlighting Picasso's role in the context of the cultural and political struggles of the 20th century, with a special focus on the themes of anti-Francoism and international solidarity.

At the centre of the exhibition project is the painting "Homme assis" (1967) by Pablo Picasso, now kept at the Museo del Novecento in Milan, which becomes the starting point for reconstructing its complex history.

The exhibition traces the historical-political story and the international circulation of the work between 1967 and 1972, highlighting how the work has taken on meanings over time that go beyond its purely artistic value.

Through documents, insights and research materials, the project highlights the dialogue between modern art, civic engagement and European political history, offering a new interpretation of Picasso's work and its impact on the cultural landscape of the second half of the 20th century.

The Museo del Novecento in Milan thus confirms its status as a reference point for the promotion of modern and contemporary art, offering exhibition itineraries that combine historical research with critical reflection.
