What can a painting tell us about the life it’s led? Come behind the scenes to paintings conservation to discover the journey “Three Musicians,” one of Pablo Picasso’s most notable Cubist works, took, from a garage studio, through World War II, to MoMA.
“The back of the painting really acts in a way like its passport. A work like this really shows you, even if it's a single artist who produces the work, there are so many other people who are involved in that painting's life.”
