UK—Picasso: Peace and Freedom is currently on view through August 30, 2010 at Tate Liverpool. This major exhibition brings together over 150 works by Pablo Picasso from across the world.

From the museum website:

This exhibition will reveal a fascinating new insight into the artist’s life as a tireless political activist and campaigner for peace, challenging the widely held view of Picasso as creative genius, playboy and compulsive extrovert.

This is the first exhibition to examine in depth the artist’s engagement with politics and the Peace Movement, and will reflect a new Picasso for a new time. The exhibition provides a timely look at Picasso’s work in the Cold War era and how the artist transcended the ideological and aesthetic oppositions of East and West.
