Pablo Picasso - Le Chandail Jaune - 1939



The title of the exhibition - Affinita Elettivewas chosen to evoke and underline the potential dialogue that arises from the meeting of these two important collections from similarities in iconography to subject matter. The title is inspired by the famous novel of the same name by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a writer who spent time in Venice during his travels to Italy
