In-Depth Information
As you tour the collection, you'll see both black-and-white and colorful ink sketches
that challenge the imagination—these show off Picasso's skill as a cartoonist and carica-
turist. Look also for the Basque fishermen and several Cubist-style nudes
(nus couchés),
one painted on plywood—Picasso loved experimenting with materials and different sur-
faces (I particularly like the crayon sketches).
