London's Tate Britain unveils Picasso and Modern British Art, the first exhibition to explore Pablo Picasso's impact on British art.
The influence of Picasso on British art and artists has rarely been recognised -until now, thanks to Tate Britain's new exhibition, Picasso and Modern British Art.

Picasso and Modern British Art explores the Spanish artist's critical (and public) reputation in Britain, as well as his political status, forged through the tour of his Guernica painting in 1938-39 and his appearance at the 1950 Peace Congress in Sheffield.

The Tate Britain exhibition will also look at how Picasso's work affected British modernism and inspired British artists such as:
-Duncan Grant
-Wyndham Lewis
-Ben Nicholson
-Henry Moore
-Francis Bacon
-Graham Sutherland
-David Hockney
