# *André Malraux et Pablo Picasso : le musée imaginaire*

Two-person exhibition · Oct 6, 2026 – Feb 7, 2027 · on view · Salle-dossier

André Malraux and Pablo Picasso

A dossier show on André Malraux’s relationship to Picasso and his work, drawn from Malraux’s book La Tête d’obsidienne.

After Picasso’s death in 1973, his widow Jacqueline Roque asked Malraux to help with the estate. A visit to Notre-Dame-de-Vie, the painter’s last home and studio, showed him Picasso’s personal collection and a part of his imaginary museum.

The visit led to La Tête d’obsidienne, a fictionalized book of memories and conversations. It reveals less about a real friendship, which Picasso hardly ever mentioned, than about how Malraux refined his own theories through Picasso’s work.
