Pablo Picasso stole ideas

• When Pablo Picasso was young he often copied paintings that other artists had made by drawing them. (1881-1973)
• Pablo believed that it was very important to look closely at images that already existed to get his own new ideas.
• One could say that he borrowed and sometimes stole other artists’ ideas.

• Pablo saw a painting in a museum in Paris that he liked a lot. It’s called Déjeuner sur l’herbe (Luncheon on the Grass) and was painted in 1863 by an artist named Édouard Manet.
• Pablo started to draw the painting. But it became its own image that he created little paper figures of.
• One day in the 1960’s he asked an artist from Norway named Carl Nesjar to make the same figures but from large concrete blocks.
• Today the sculpture stands in Moderna Museet’s garden, and Picasso gave it the same title as Manet’s painting.

Create like an artist – from home!

Come along one of the museum’s educators and get inspired by artists and artworks at Moderna Museet. We will create artworks from things we might already have at home. There is no right or wrong, ugly or beautiful when you are creating. But there is one rule – there are no rules.

Welcome to the Workshop!

In the museum’s YouTube series “Create like an artist” you will receive tips on how you can create your own artworks at home inspired by artists in Moderna Museet’s collection. New episodes are released every Sunday. The episodes are approximately 3–5 min long and are aimed at children between 4 and 9 years old.
