The sheer scale of the exhibition is impressive, but its true appeal lies elsewhere. Very quickly, the visit transcends the typical framework of a retrospective. Through Henry Taylor, it is the narrative of the Picasso Museum itself that seems to shift.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One work immediately provides the key. In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*From Congo to the Capital, and Black Again*<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2007), the reference to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les Demoiselles d\u2019Avignon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is explicit. But Henry Taylor does not cite Picasso to pay homage to a master: he reverses the perspective. Whereas Picasso found in African sculptures and masks a vocabulary that would revolutionize Western painting, Taylor places Black bodies at the very heart of this history. The painting does not settle scores; it serves as a reminder that European modernity was built on exchanges whose narrative has long been told from a single perspective.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16d181d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"16d181d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78bfd7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"78bfd7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2110\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-14.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-18865\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-14.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-14-284x300.jpg 284w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-14-971x1024.jpg 971w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-14-768x810.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-14-1456x1536.jpg 1456w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-14-1941x2048.jpg 1941w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-14-300x317.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1a2e15 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b1a2e15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Henry Taylor, <i>From Congo to the Capital, and Black Again<\/i>, 2007.

African art is presented there as one of the driving forces behind this formal revolution. Today, this narrative is being reexamined in light of debates on colonial legacies, cultural appropriation, and voices long excluded from the modernist narrative.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Henry Taylor arrives at this very moment. Born in California in 1958, he has spent nearly forty years developing a practice that moves freely between painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation. As with Picasso, the mediums are never strictly separated. But their points of departure differ. Taylor paints his loved ones, neighbors, strangers, and public figures. These individual stories intersect with those of an America marked by racial and social inequalities, police violence, and economic insecurity\u2014without the paintings ever veering into illustration. Each painting first and foremost affirms a presence.      <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This focus on reality explains why David Hammons, Philip Guston, and Picasso appear less as models than as interlocutors. Taylor borrows, transforms, and reinterprets. He does not align himself with any particular lineage; rather, he rewrites images from the past through his experience of the present.  <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dcfe0c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"dcfe0c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7213850 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7213850\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1901\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-11-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-18862\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-11-scaled.jpg 1901w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-11-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-11-760x1024.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-11-768x1034.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-11-1141x1536.jpg 1141w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-11-1521x2048.jpg 1521w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DP_TAYLOR-11-300x404.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1901px) 100vw, 1901px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-364ccf1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"364ccf1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Henry Taylor, <i>Mary Had a Little...

It does not seek to demonstrate an influence but rather juxtaposes two conceptions of the human figure. For Picasso, the body becomes a canvas for artistic experimentation, whereas for Taylor, it remains the setting for a story. One invents forms; the other brings lives to life. Between them, there is neither a lineage nor an opposition, but a dialogue.    <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In recent years, the Picasso Museum has been expanding this series of dialogues\u2014from Faith Ringgold to Henry Taylor\u2014in the lead-up to an exhibition dedicated to the Harlem Renaissance in 2027. It no longer limits itself to simply preserving a work of art; it examines the narratives it generates and those it has long overlooked. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The success of this exhibition lies precisely in this shift. For a long time, art history focused on how Picasso viewed African art. Today, an African American artist is looking at Picasso. This simple reversal of perspective opens the door to a different history of modernity.   <\/span><\/p><p><b>\u201c <\/b><b>Henry Taylor, Where Thoughts Provoke <\/b><b>\u201d<\/b>, <b>Pablo Picasso Museum, Paris, through September 8, 2026<\/b><br\/> <br\/>This translation was generated using AI.
