This is the first solo Pablo Picasso exhibition at Tate Modern, which brings together over 100 paintings, sculptures and drawings mixed with family photographs with rare glimpses of his personal life.
Three of his extraordinary paintings, featuring his lover Marie-Therese Walter are shown together for the first time since they were created over a period of just five days in March 1932.
