Portrait of Gertrude Stein by Picasso
The Denison Museum will host two events to complement its current exhibition of Picasso prints. A film screening and a book club, held on Nov. 9 and 11, will be free and open to the public.
How does one survive Picasso? The film “Surviving Picasso” answers this question from the viewpoint of a young painter, Francoise Gilot, who meets Pablo Picasso, already the most celebrated artist in the world. The film will screen at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 9, in the Slayter Auditorium (200 Ridge Road).
Gertrude Stein’s “Picasso” is the subject of the latest Denison Museum Book Club. The book is a memoir of Picasso written by one of his most famous subjects. Limited copies are available at the Denison Museum. The book club will meet at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 11, at the Denison Museum (240 West Broadway).
