An exhibition of twenty-eight works of lithographs and engravings by the Spanish artist Pablo

Picasso will be on display to the public from September 14th (Saturday), at the National Museum of

Archaeology, located in this city, was discovered today, Monday, by ANGOP.

This exhibition is leaving Lubango and has already passed through Luanda, according to a note from ENSA – Seguros de Angola sent to ANGOP today.

The exhibition of lithographs and engravings by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso corresponds to two collections: “The Burial of the Count of Orgaz”

and “The double flute”, from the Ibero-American University Foundation (FUNIBER).

This foundation loaned paintings produced by the most universal Spanish artist between the years 1930 and 1968.

One of the collections, "The burial of the Count of Orgaz", emerged as a visual part of a surrealist automatic writing experiment

performed by Picasso in a manuscript in Spanish dated 1957 and 1958, and a proposal by the poet Rafael Alberti through a

poetic text praising the creativity of the Spanish artist.

In the collection "The Double Flute", Picasso cultivates the academic nude, without the presentation of male or female sexual organs, with

remarkable realism, but also recreating characters from Greco-Roman mythology such as the faun, Minotaur and the God Bacchus.

With these collections being exhibited free of charge, the Spanish Embassy, ​​for the first time in Africa, provides the

possibility for Angolans to enjoy works by this universal artist.

In partnership with ENSA - Seguros de Angola and after the generous offer from FUNIBER to be able to enjoy these collections in Angola

for approximately a year, the works have already been exhibited in Luanda and Lubango, and, after Benguela, they will be able to

will also be presented in the provinces of Bié, Huambo and, finally, again in Luanda, where its closing takes place.

The opening of the exhibition may be made by the governor of the province of Benguela, Luís Nunes.
