Since Pablo Picasso’s death, in 1973, the art world has sought to make sense of his vast number of paintings, sculptures, and drawings. Additionally, the Málaga-born artist produced more than 2,400 prints during his career, a medium in which he often explored ideas later realized in paintings. Such was the case with Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, for example, a major Cubist breakthrough. At the British Museum, works from Picasso’s neoclassical “Vollard Suite,” a series of 100 etchings from the 1930s, are on view. In fact, Picasso’s prints hold many of his obsessions: women, bullfights, circuses, as well a sense of himself as a foreigner in France. “If there were only one truth,” he said, “you couldn’t paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.” —Elena Clavarino
