This book offers a critical, multidisciplinary, and innovative approach to the work of Pablo Picasso (1881–1973). International museum and university scholars, experts on Spanish art and cultural history, discuss the continuities and breaches in Picasso's own artistic practice in relation to Spanish art history, covering the representation of gender in his work and its continuity with the Western tradition until the present day; previously overlooked iconographical takeovers from pre-1800 Spanish artists; the relevance of national identity during his exile; the reception of Picasso in Spain during Francoism and the first years of democracy, and the use of language(s) when talking about Picasso and his work.Reexamining Picasso through fresh academic insight
