From AFP, via Taipei Times:

Picasso’s paintings have captured the imagination of art lovers the world over but they remain a mystery to many in China, as visitors at an exhibition of his lesser-known works here attest.

Beijing has a lively art scene and its residents pride themselves as the most culturally informed in the country.

But visitors said even they were mystified by the Spanish master’s lesser-known collection — mostly etchings and engravings that are illustrations in books of European classics.
