British designer Paul Smith, celebrated for his traditional tailoring and playful use of color, has conceived the art direction of this exhibition, drawing inspiration from works by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) in the collection of the Musée National Picasso–Paris. The space, designed with a free-spirited approach, is filled with the vivid colors and playful energy characteristic of Smith’s clothing and accessories. The exhibition presents works from throughout Picasso’s career in a loosely chronological arrangement.
