The human figure was a key theme for Picasso and portraiture accounted for a significant portion of his oeuvre throughout his entire career. He portrayed people belonging to his closest circle, working from life, using photographs or relying on his prodigious memory.

Developments in smart devices and the filters provided by various apps have breathed new life into this longstanding genre. Taking this idea and combining it with the Picassos on show in Dialogues with Picasso, we encourage schoolchildren to carry on exploring this genre.
