Picasso Black and White

Picasso Black and White
Guggenheim Museum
October 5, 2012–January 23, 2013
Surveying the Spanish master’s oeuvre from 1904 to 1971, Picasso Black and White examines the artist’s lifelong exploration of a black-and-white palette through some 110 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper. Picasso’s deceptively simple use of isolated black, white, and gray hues belies the extraordinary complexity and power of these expressive works, which purge color in order to highlight their formal structure.

Jock McFadyen

Made in Hackney – Jock McFadyen
Fleming Collection
17 july – 17 october 2012
A major survey exhibition of four decades of work by Jock McFadyen, the Scottishborn, East London-based painter, who in recent years has concentrated on powerful urban landscapes, is to be be held at The Fleming Collection at 13 Berkeley Street, London W1 from 17 July to 17 October 2012. The show’s title Made in Hackney reflects the fact that many of the pictures were painted in McFadyen’s studio in London Fields, Hackney regardless of whether they portray scenes in London, France or Scotland. “Most people think that the artist has to be there but any large painting by any artist must be done in a studio,” says McFadyen.
