After the death of the great master in 1973, the exhibition "Homage to Picasso" was created with 69 works by different artists of contemporary art who, using different techniques and styles, create a work in memory of the great Spanish artist.
They certainly could not help but draw on Picasso's great creativity, each adopting some particular congenial to his own personality to develop it according to his own style, as if to testify to the inexhaustibility of Picasso's legacy.
There are many interpretations with which Picasso's "heirs" interpret his suggestions: and here are those who, taking up the collages of found objects, assemble the most disparate images with great ease.
