What to look for on Smart Talk, Thursday, August 1, 2019:Â
Smart Talk travels to the Susquehanna Art Museum to discuss the museum‘s new exhibit, PICASSO: A Life in Print.Â
The exhibit of prints spans Pablo Picasso’s prolific career, with work from 1904-1970. Though Picasso never received formal training in printmaking, he practiced working with the medium to develop his distinctive ideas.Â
A Life in Print includes pieces from the historic Suite des Saltimbanques, Picasso’s first major body of work in printmaking; Suite Vollard, a group of one hundred prints commissioned by famed art dealer Ambroise Vollard; and the Caisse Ãƒ  Remords, prized by collectors because they represent an intimate view of the artist’s personal vision.

Â
The Picasso exhibit includes pieces from the John Szoke Gallery in New York City. Established in 1974, the gallery specializes in works on paper with a focus on prints by Pablo Picasso and Edvard Munch.Â
Joining Smart Talk is John Szoke, art collector and director of the John Szoke Gallery.Â
PICASSO: A Life in Print is on view at the Susquehanna Art Museum through September 22.Â
