World culture: Major exhibition of Pablo Picasso works opened in the Tate Gallery in Britain

A major new exhibition of paintings by famous Spanish artist Pablo Picasso runs through February 15 - July 15, 2012 in the Tate Britain (London). The exhibition entitled "Picasso and Modern British Art" brings together over 150 paintings, including over 60 works of the famous founder of cubism. It explores the vast heritage of the great master and his influence on British art until the present day, and also tells what linked him to the United Kingdom.

The exhibition covers many stages of the Spanish artist work, including early landscapes made in the impressionist style, the canvas of 1901 "A Child with a Dove", sketches for the ballet of Diaghilev, still lives, the famous "The Three Dancers" (1925) and "Weeping Woman" (1937) and "Guernica."

The exposition also reveals the evolution of Picasso’s impact on British artists, many of whom learned about his works at exhibitions in London and Paris. Their pictures bear the stamp of the Spanish’s styles he worked in at the time when they discovered him for themselves.
