【推荐2】Pablo Picasso truly was a man of mystery. A hidden detail has been discovered in one of his paintings hanging at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
After close examination, experts found that a pet dog was at first included in Picasso’s painting Le Moulin de la Galette, but was later painted out. The artwork was completed after his arrival in Paris in 1900, and shows a noisy scene caught in a Parisian dining place of the same name, filed with couples drinking wine and enjoying a chat.
The discovery was made by experts at the Guggenheim, New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. The finding was made ahead of the opening of their exhibition “Young Picasso in Paris”. which features 10 drawings and paintings from Picasso’s early works in the French capital. where he eventually settled down.
To discover the hidden dog, experts used a non-destructive (非破坏性的) way to draw out the elemental parts of materials in the painting. “It was interesting to me that he painted over this dog, which would have been a rather attractive part of the painting,” the Guggenheim’s senior expert Julie Barten says, adding that it was an “interesting” choice.
Experts believe the dog was possibly removed by Picasso because it was too “distracting” for viewers. “It would have stolen the show.” Barten continues. “Viewers can look more carefully at all of these other wonderful figures in the painting-to experience the space in different ways.
“The painting acts as the most attractive part in the show at the Guggenheim. which joins several other international exhibitions being held to celebrate the 50-year anniversary (周年纪念) of the artist’s death in 1973.” Barten adds. “‘Young Picasso in Paris’ will run from May 12 to August 6.”

【推荐3】Some new museums are opening around the world. Here are four of them deserving to be visited.
Maison Gainsbourg, Paris
The Parisian townhouse where the French singer Serge Gainsbourg lived has been closed off to the public since his death in 1991. This spring, though, it’ll finally open as a museum focusing on his life and work. The project has been led by his daughter—the actor and singer Charlotte—and the main attraction will surely be Serge’s living area, with his piano, art deco bar and a huge collection of sculptures.
National Museum of Norway, Oslo
This year, the National Museum of Norway will open on Oslo’s waterfront, becoming the largest museum in the Nordic countries. The museum collection includes 100,000 objects, with highlights including the Norwegian Baldishol tapestry(挂毯) and an array of Golden Age Flemish landscapes.
Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney
The expansion of the Art Gallery of New South Wales has cost a cool $177 million. That’s a lot of money. But it is properly amazing. Visitors enter via a vast glass facade(幕墙), which hangs above a pair of oil tanks from the Second World War period. Torres Strait Islands’ artists’ artworks are given priority in the new gallery spaces.
Museum of Art & Photography, Bengaluru
Opening towards the end of the year, this brand-new gallery in southern India was founded by businessman Abhishek Poddar. He’s known for his collection of art and photos and more than 18,000 of his own pieces will be on display here. Expect everything from sculptures to paintings. Can’t make it out to Bengaluru?
