A simple piece of furniture made very special by its world famous user.īook and documentary A book is available about Picasso in Holland with contributions of Picasso-expert Marilyn McCully and historian Gerrit Valk. The starting part of the exhibition was a gift: the wooden chair the Spanish master allegedly worked on in the café ‘Hollands Welvaren’ (nowadays the ‘Hof van Schoorl’). Wooden chair Never before has a Dutch museum succeeded in bringing Picasso’s rare Dutch artworks together. The distance to Paris– even if it lasted just a few weeks – helped Picasso to elaborate his style. Back in Paris, Pablo Picasso paints a kind of desert behind the acrobats, which was inspired by the dunes in Schoorl. His sketchbooks contain at least fifteen studies for the ‘Wedding of Pierette’ (1905) and he experiments with the background of ‘Family of Saltimbanques’ (1905). Prestudies He also worked on the compositions of his Parisian paintings. As well as the westfrisian hat on the head of the woman in ‘La belle Hollandaise’. The farmhouse on the background is typical for this region. He paints this water in ‘Les trois Hollandaises’. To paint, he retreats to his room along the North Holland Canal.
23-year-old Picasso portrays the local population, brothel visitors, but also Dutch farmhouses, windmills and the historic town centres of Hoorn and Alkmaar. Apart from ‘La belle Hollandaise’ and ‘Les trois Hollandaises’ there will be two sketchbooks from the collections of Musée Picasso Paris. The exhibition Picasso in Holland featured several unique artworks on loan from museums abroad and rarely-shown documentary material. He visited the cheese market, studied the windmills and retained this new ‘exotic world’ in his sketchbooks. From Schoorl and Schoorldam Picasso went on excursions to Alkmaar and Hoorn. He invited Picasso to come stay with him and his girlfriend Nelly in their holiday home in Schoorl.

In Paris, where the young artist shared a studio with numerous Dutch artists, he got to know the Dutch comedian, racing driver and journalist Tom Schilperoort. Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) had only been living in Paris for a few years, when he decided to leave the metropolis and head to rural North Holland in 1905.
