JUNE 19 TO 29, 2014

The Alumni Association Travel Committee is Pleased to PresentIn Pursuit of Picasso: His Life & Legacy in Spain & FranceA Unique Learning Experience with Professor John Klein,

Associate Professor of Art History & Archaeology

Join Washington University in St. Louis Alumni, Parents and Friends as we explore the legacy of Pablo Picasso, the most influential artist of the 20th century and one of the most prolific, on privileged visits to Barcelona, the South of France, and Paris.

Our journey will be enhanced by the insights of Washington University’s own John Klein, Associate Professor of Art History and Archaeology. An expert in modern art, Professor Klein has lectured widely on Picasso and published several works on his great friend and rival, Henri Matisse.

Begin with two days in Barcelona, where Picasso, already a prodigy, spent his adolescence. See his formative influences—the Romanesque frescoes of the National Art Museum of Catalonia, Gaudí’s revolutionary buildings—and dine at Els Quatre Gats, a local restaurant he frequented. Attend an evening performance at the Palau de Música Catalana, built in the Catalan modernist style whose organic forms inspired Picasso. Then fly to Nice to spend four days on the French Riviera, where the mature master spent his summers and lived out his last 15 years. Discover museums devoted to his contemporaries Matisse, Fernand Léger, and Pierre Bonnard, and explore the Picasso Museums of Vallauris and Antibes. Finally, travel by high-speed train to Paris, where the artist lived as a young man and spent much of his creative life. Delve deeper into his diverse inspirations, from the Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces at the Musée d’Orsay to the African objects at the Musée du Quai Branly. Visit the newly renovated Picasso Museum to admire its splendid collection of art and archival materials.

An optional two-night prelude in Madrid is offered, which includes a viewing of Guernica, one of the artist’s most famous works.

Is Travel with Washington University Really Different? Absolutely—and far beyond the participation of Professor John Klein, this unique program offers the opportunity to explore Picasso’s creations in the ideal context. As the master himself said, “It is not enough to know an artist’s works. One must also know where he did them, why, how, in what circumstances…” We know you will treasure the chance to share this remarkable journey in the congenial company of travelers with similar appreciations and interests.

The Alumni Association Travel Committee is Pleased to PresentIn Pursuit of Picasso: His Life & Legacy in Spain & FranceA Unique Learning Experience with Professor John Klein,

Associate Professor of Art History & Archaeology

Join Washington University in St. Louis Alumni, Parents and Friends as we explore the legacy of Pablo Picasso, the most influential artist of the 20th century and one of the most prolific, on privileged visits to Barcelona, the South of France, and Paris.

Our journey will be enhanced by the insights of Washington University’s own John Klein, Associate Professor of Art History and Archaeology. An expert in modern art, Professor Klein has lectured widely on Picasso and published several works on his great friend and rival, Henri Matisse.

Begin with two days in Barcelona, where Picasso, already a prodigy, spent his adolescence. See his formative influences—the Romanesque frescoes of the National Art Museum of Catalonia, Gaudí’s revolutionary buildings—and dine at Els Quatre Gats, a local restaurant he frequented. Attend an evening performance at the Palau de Música Catalana, built in the Catalan modernist style whose organic forms inspired Picasso. Then fly to Nice to spend four days on the French Riviera, where the mature master spent his summers and lived out his last 15 years. Discover museums devoted to his contemporaries Matisse, Fernand Léger, and Pierre Bonnard, and explore the Picasso Museums of Vallauris and Antibes. Finally, travel by high-speed train to Paris, where the artist lived as a young man and spent much of his creative life. Delve deeper into his diverse inspirations, from the Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces at the Musée d’Orsay to the African objects at the Musée du Quai Branly. Visit the newly renovated Picasso Museum to admire its splendid collection of art and archival materials.

An optional two-night prelude in Madrid is offered, which includes a viewing of Guernica, one of the artist’s most famous works.

Is Travel with Washington University Really Different? Absolutely—and far beyond the participation of Professor John Klein, this unique program offers the opportunity to explore Picasso’s creations in the ideal context. As the master himself said, “It is not enough to know an artist’s works. One must also know where he did them, why, how, in what circumstances…” We know you will treasure the chance to share this remarkable journey in the congenial company of travelers with similar appreciations and interests.
