Picasso: Becoming the Faun
Remai Modern’s collection of Picasso linocuts is a nearly comprehensive holding of his work in this medium, including many stages and working proofs. His 1962 linocut, Tête de Faune, and the associated series of stages is a compelling sequence. It reveals the artist’s process and his technical exploration of the medium but, when viewed in series, it also builds an intriguing narrative of transformation. These linocuts provide the starting point for Becoming the Faun, a multifaceted exhibition that explores the formation of self, processes of change and ideas of becoming.
