PUBLIC LECTURE: Public Lecture: Picasso and the Minotaur

The Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens and UWA Classics and Ancient History are hosting Professor Clemente Marconi (NYU), the 2019 AAIA Visiting Professor, who will be presenting a public lecture titled "Picasso and the Minotaur". This presentation focuses on the work of Pablo Picasso, particularly his creative engagement with Greek and Roman mythology and his engagement over the years with Greek and Roman art, including his artistic training in Spain, his early years as a modernist artist in Paris, his “second classical period” of 1917–1925, and his graphic art of the 1930s, such as the Vollard Suite.
