Flores-Fleurs - Flowers , Pablo Picasso.1901Oil on canvas. Tate CollectionThis was the first work by Pablo Picasso to be bought by the Tate Gallery. It was acquired in 1933 with the help of the Contemporary Art Society, a fund established in 1910 to help public museums and galleries buy important works of art. This surprising flower painting by Picasso reveals a lot about the tastes of the Tate Gallery Trustees in the early twentieth century. In 1933 Picasso was already an established avant-gardeartist, but the decision to buy this conservative early work shows that the Trustees were resisting the more radical developments in modern art.Source:http://www.tate.org.uk/ -- source link
