Picasso - Peace and Freedom
Opens: 21/05/2010 Closes: 30/08/2010
Tate Liverpool
Picasso was always a political sort of fellow, although his public image typically depicts him as a garrulous fun-seeker. His dedication to peace was undoubted, however – he even named his daughter Paloma, meaning ‘dove’. This is among the first exhibitions to focus solely on his Cold War-era works, reflecting his potent ideology.

The Telegraph“Picasso was a poet, not a politician” An ambitious but deeply flawed exhibition that’s well worth a visit for the quality of the work alone.

The Independent“The Charnel House is a depiction not just of the masses, but for the masses” The artist that emerges from Tate Liverpool's excellent show may be a sentimental socialist and certainly a humanitarian, but he is only ever an accidental communist.
.
Guardian“Politics turns out to be the least interesting aspect of Picasso's art.” what the curators don't appear to notice is Picasso's sheer force of virtuosity, his ceaseless experimentation, his astonishing originality. And all of this is to do with picture-making, not politics.
.
The Times“Here is Picasso the political activist” Picasso was not as single-mindedly a political radical as the show might try to persuade you, but as an artist he was undoubtedly a true revolutionary.
