An exhibition titled "PICASSO: Graphics from the National Gallery Collection" will open at 18:00 pm this evening at Kvadrat 500 in Sofia. The National Gallery's collection includes twenty-one graphic works by Picasso, thematically connected to his and other authors' literary texts, personal experiences and insights. They reveal the great artist’s passion for and virtuosity in drawing, achieved through the techniques of lithography, etching, engraving and aquatint in a free expression of the material, of black and white areas, and strokes.
