David Simon Contemporary is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by Lydia Corbett (née Sylvette David), the last surviving muse of Pablo Picasso, in celebration of her 90th Birthday. 2024 also signifies the 70th anniversary of her sitting for Pablo Picasso, who created over 70 portraits of her.
"Lydia Corbett's art holds up a mirror to what has been a rich and complicated bohemian life - husbands, lovers, children, grandchildren. Making art, rather than just inspiring it, came gradually. Whatever their source, they often have great charm. I enjoyed looking at them, and, yes, I enjoyed meeting her. She's still a muse in old age."
