Portrait of Dora Maar 1937
Seattle has been blessed with a visiting exhibition of works by Pablo Picasso from the Musee National Picasso Paris. I had the opportunity to see the exhibition twice. The first time was just a quick run through on a children's day at the museum. It was just enough for me to get a taste of it and want to come back. The second time was earlier this week.It was nice to be able to take my time and really look at the art and enjoy it.
I knew very little about Picasso and his art before this exhibit. Not that I am an expert now but I know more than I did. I knew that Picasso was famous for cubism but didn't realize that cubism was just one aspect of his work. I was surprised to find out he was a sculptor as well. My overall impression was that his work is definitely worthy of master status. It found it amazing that so many creative and visionary ideas could come from one mans imagination. Mind blowing.
