Picasso?s work appears never to have ceased to haunt the imagination of his peers. The great stylistic periods and certain emblematic works by Picasso like `Les Demoiselles d?Avignon` or `Guernica` will be answered by contemporary artworks. The publication will showcase the rich confrontation with Picasso?s work undertaken by contemporary artists since the 1960s.

Pablo Picasso?s vibrant presence struck a chord in the 1960s with the return to Picassien archetypal figures by Pop Art and Narrative Figuration by Warhol, Lichtenstein, Equipo Cronica, Erró. Martin Kippenberger?s self-portraits reveal the impact of Picasso?s public image on the imagination of 20th century artists. David Hockney?s Polaroid composites and multi-screen videos echo Picasso?s Cubism and his exploration of a polyfocal space. Picasso?s stylistic eclecticism, his ?cannibalism? of the old masters, the free craftsmanship of the later paintings inspired a new generation of artists like Georg Baselitz, Jean-Michel Basquiat, or Julian Schnabel. Rineke Dijkstra?s video installation `I See a Woman Crying (Weeping Woman)`, (2009-2010) will demonstrate the presence of Picasso?s work in contemporary imagination, in its most diverse means of expression (cinema, digital images, from videos to comic strips).
