People who enjoy discovering new artists should pay a visit to the Museu Picasso whilst in Barcelona this summer.

From June 11th to September 27th, the museum will present an exhibition of work by the Dutch artist Kees van Dongen.

The show – which is co-produced by the Museu Picasso, the Nouveau Musee National in Monaco and Montreal’s Musee des Beaux Arts – represents the first major survey of Van Dongen’s work in Spain.

It sets out to highlight the significance of an artist who, according to the museum, deserves more recognition than he has achieved.

Almost 100 works by Van Dongen feature in the exhibition, as well as a number of pieces by Picasso that serve to illustrate the friendship between the two artists.

Art enthusiasts planning visits to Barcelona towards the end of the year will be able to see a display of Picasso’s erotic prints at the Museu Picasso from November 5th.
