Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 230 works by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Picasso's output was so vast that even individual museums rarely capture its full scope — seeing original works reveals the restless experimentation that reproductions flatten into mere style. His Cubist paintings in particular have a physical complexity, their fragmented planes and shifting viewpoints, that photographs cannot convey.
