JOURNAL PROMPT: When we think of Picasso, we think of Cubism and paintings. This virtual exhibition, however, focuses on Picasso’s drawings, prints, illustrated books, and various other media. His illustrated books are especially interesting because they connect narrative content to Picasso’s prints, many of which would otherwise remain illegible. In your journal entry, be sure to focus on works in this exhibition, most of which you will have never seen prior to taking this unique virtual tour.
