How did a poor Spanish boy become the richest artist of his time? Attendees of the lecture will trace the life path of Pablo Picasso and uncover the secrets of his highly paid popularity. Today, Picasso's paintings are exhibited in the largest museums in the world and are worth astronomical sums. However, his works were well-paid even during his lifetime, making the author a millionaire. How a boy who burned his drawings in the stove became a superstar will be revealed to the attendees of the thematic lecture. Art historian Natalia Lavrenova will talk about the main stages of Picasso's life and his most impressive commercial successes. The meeting will help to understand what exactly brought the painter worldwide fame - talent, hard work, or a well-thought-out strategy - and who became the first millionaire artist, ahead of the great cubist. The lecture will take place in the presence of authentic works of the evening's hero. Details and ticket purchases can be found on the website. The ticket grants access to the exhibition "Dali & Picasso" on the day of the event.
