The exhibition Picasso and Paper explores Pablo Picasso’s innovative use of paper throughout his career, featuring nearly 300 works organized by the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Royal Academy of Arts, and the Musée national Picasso-Paris. Highlights include the massive collage Femmes à leur toilette (1937–38), shown in the U.S. for the first time, Cubist papiers collés, sketchbooks, paper guitars, and related works in various media. Showcased chronologically, these works reveal paper’s central role in Picasso's creative process, with connections to major paintings and sculptures like La Vie (1903) and Head of a Woman (Fernande) (1909). The exhibition is accompanied by a comprehensive catalogue with essays by renowned Picasso scholars and art historians.
