re: Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris
Included in the exhibition is the World War II era of Pablo Picasso's career when the artist remained in Nazi-occupied Paris while dictator Francisco Franco ruled Spain. Picasso worked mostly in sculpture then, using bronze for such pieces as Man With A Lamb despite wartime prohibitions on the use of the scarce metal. He chose bronze as a way of protesting the occupation.excerpted from an article by William Kenny
