Imagined by the designer, \u201cPicasso Celebration\u201d dusts off the museum\u2019s permanent collections thanks to lots of colors and the electric energy dear to the 76-year-old Brit. On the fiftieth anniversary of <strong>Pablo Picasso<\/strong>\u2019s death (1881-1973), many institutions on both sides of the Atlantic are paying tribute to one of the most exhibited artists in the world with an exceptional programme. And who would be better than Paul Smith to conceive an original set design? Known and praised for his stripes and use of color, the designer who launched his label in 1970 is a free spirit in the fashion world. Each season, he goes merrily along and dabbles in everything that catches his attention, from fashion to design, cycling, cars&#8230; and curating exhibitions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the three floors of the museum,<strong> Paul Smith<\/strong> has invested several rooms with his bright colors, taking the visitors into a blue universe, in response to the paintings from <strong>Pablo Picasso<\/strong>\u2019s melancholic period, and into a red and pink one echoing<em> Les Demoiselles d\u2019Avignon<\/em>&#8230; or into a jazzy atmosphere, with Thelonious Monk\u2019s music being played in the room dedicated to the 1950s. The exhibition brings together dozens of masterpieces, thus highlighting the richness of the museum\u2019s collections through Paul Smith\u2019s \u201ccrazy\u201d and \u201ceccentric\u201d lens, to use his own words. For <em>Num\u00e9ro<\/em>, he looks back at four artworks from this rich selection that have made an impression on him.<\/p>\r\n\n                    <figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a210bd2e5e87&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a210bd2e5e87\" class=\"wp-block-image size-medium-large wp-lightbox-container\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/bulls-head-paul-smith-exposition-musee-pablo-picasso-paris-numero-magazine-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1568\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>\n                    <figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pablo Picasso, &#8220;T\u00eate de taureau&#8221;, Spring 1942, saddle and handlebar (leather and metal), 33.5&#215;43.5x19cm, Mus\u00e9e national Picasso-Paris, Dation Pablo Picasso, 1979.

I would almost call it optimistic. <strong>Pablo Picasso<\/strong> had already portrayed himself in a Harlequin costume twenty years earlier [in 1905],&nbsp;and here, in <em>Paul en Arlequin<\/em>, he painted the portrait of his son \u2013 who was also named Paul! \u2013 in the same garishly colored costume. I first chose that painting because it echoed his family history, but above all because it referred to theatre and Picasso\u2019s theatrical approach in his work. From the start, I intended to design a theatrical setting. So, I placed <em>Paul en Arlequin<\/em> [1924] on a wall at the end of a corridor and covered the whole picture rail with the same yellow and blue diamond harlequin pattern. That way, the portrait can be seen from the two previous rooms, from where it appears as a revelation&#8230; as a real <em>coup de th\u00e9\u00e2tre<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\r\n\n                    <figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a210bd2e6510&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a210bd2e6510\" class=\"wp-block-image size-medium-large wp-lightbox-container\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/la-chevre-paul-smith-exposition-musee-pablo-picasso-paris-numero-magazine-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1568\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>\n                    <figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pablo Picasso, \u00ab La Ch\u00e8vre \u00bb, 1950 (Palm leaf, metal, original plaster, mixed techniques) at the exhibition &#8220;C\u00e9l\u00e9bration Picasso, la collection prend des couleurs&#8221; \u00a9 Mus\u00e9e national Picasso-Paris, Voyez-Vous (Vinciane Lebrun) \/ Succession Picasso 2023<\/figcaption>\n                    <\/figure>\n                    \n                    <h2>Creating from scratch<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201c<strong>Pablo Picasso<\/strong> had been painting still lifes of animal carcasses for a long time, and suddenly in the 1950s, he developed a keen interest in animals and made this fantastic sculpture of a goat. If you look at the original plaster, the bust is made from an old basket, the spine from a palm leaf, and the legs from bottles. Then, he cast the whole thing in bronze. I can totally identify with that process of assemblage and that way of looking at everyday objects and transforming them into something beautiful and unexpected. Above all, this sculpture bears <strong>witness to Picasso\u2019s ability<\/strong> to reinvent himself throughout his career, from his dark and melancholic blue period to his luminous pink period, right up to cubism&#8230; a permanent desire for reinvention to which I can relate. I\u2019ve been a fashion designer for a long time now, and I think my longevity in the industry can be compared to Picasso\u2019s presence in the art world: we both are interested in everything and all art forms. I feel a connection between our creative process and career.

Alongside this self-portrait and the photos of him, I immediately thought about hanging multiples striped T-shirts from the ceiling! Paper works like this one are often seen as a preliminary work before the painting stage \u2013 they indicate a more personal, intimate side. If you look in my pocket, you will find a pencil and a notebook. I always keep them with me, because I love this idea of being able to sketch anywhere, anytime, and to experiment with shapes and patterns on paper&#8230; The rough draft aspect of this drawing brings it closer to my practice.
