Best Artistic period of Picasso's life

Located near the Champs Elysées, the famed tree-lined avenue, Le Jardin de Paris, was the summer location of the historic dance hall Le Moulin Rouge. The imagery and style in this work, created when Picasso was twenty, recall that of the iconic Montmartre artist of the 1890s, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, whose work Picasso emulated.

While Picasso enjoyed Paris’s many distractions, he was also mourning his friend, the Catalan painter-poet Carles Casagemas, who died by su***de in Paris in February 1901. Picasso later turned this sheet over to sketch two somber compositions on the theme of death.

This work is on view in “Young Picasso in Paris” until August 6.
