Angela Liu:
Welcome to The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Picasso for Asia—A Conversation.
The exhibition is organised around four themes: Genius, Outsider, Magician, and Apprentice. These are a few of the most common ways we think about artists. As you walk through the show, you will see how Picasso embodied these four identities. Many artists, including those working in Asia, are still thinking about and reacting to these ideas, as you’ll soon discover.
