Pablo's Masterpieces at The Art Gallery of Ontario
By Stephen A. Nelson
TORONTO — “I paint the way some people write an autobiography,” Pablo Picasso once said. “The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.”
If that's true, then the Picasso exhibition now on at the Art Gallery of Ontario (Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, Paris) is the artist's life story writ large. All of the chapters are here, everything from the A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man to Picasso's Last Words.
The exhibition at the AGO has been described as "Picasso's Picasso" and as “the greatest display of Picassos in the world.”
