Living Things  |  Art, 11 21 2008 - 03 1 2009 From 1907, Picasso opened his work to metamorphosis. He increasingly made one thing into another. In particular, he turned figures into things and things into figures, or even created things that were also figures. This exhibition brings together sketches, studies, prints and paintings to show some of the ways in which this happened in Picasso's work through the Cubist period and then between 1924 and the early 1930s as he engaged with and responded to the Surrealists.
