Synopsis

A deep dive into one of the most iconic works of modern art, 100 years after it was first painted.

Agony and ecstasy go hand-in-hand in Pablo Picasso's exuberant masterpiece The Three Dancers. A milestone in modern art from 1925, this painting now forms the centrepiece of an exhibition celebrating the work's centenary. For Picasso, The Three Dancers marked a radical break away from his serene, classical phase and the beginning of a new period of emotional violence and expressionist distortion. It sits at a crossroads between madness, philosophy and the avant-garde: a place where identity is disrupted and the body itself is at stake.

This bold publication tells the story of the landmark painting through a selection of key works from across Picasso's career, exploring themes of sex, death, and the politics of dance.
