Pablo Picasso, Paul Eluard, une amitié sublime

If in the 1920s, Eluard was part of the collection of paintings and works by Picasso and devoted inspirational poems to the painter, their friendship became privileged in the mid-1930s and developed intensely on a personal, artistic and political level.

The two artists travel together through the period, elated and tormented, where the Spanish War, Occupation, Liberation and commitment to the Peace Movement are linked. Their creations were echoed, such as the poem by Eluard La Victoire de Guernica and the famous painting by Picasso, or the illustrated books produced together. Each inspires the other, and the portraits of the poet by Picasso respond to the poems of Eluard consecrated to the painter.
