50 years following the death of the famous painter on April 8, 1973, the Picasso Museum in Antibes, in southeastern France, launched the day before yesterday the activities for this anniversary, by opening an exhibition centered on the last years of his life. The exhibition “Picasso 1969-1972”, until the second of next July, in Antibes, presents 37 paintings and four paper works that the artist executed during those years in Mougins, near Antibes, where he lived from 1961 until his death. These large-scale works, including “Bust of a Man in a Hat” and “Torero”, were loaned by the Picasso Museums in Paris and Malaga, private galleries and the artist’s family.
Picasso did not stop creating until his last working session on November 12, 1972, weeks before his death at the age of 91.
