P I C A S S O

Hello all. This weekend I had the opportunity to go to the Seattle art museum and see the Masterpieces from the Musee National, Paris Picasso exhibition. The Musee National Picasso is dedicated to the life and career of Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). The museum is unique in the way that it holds the works of Picasso that represnt his personal selections. He kept these works for himself in order to shape his own legacy. I ver much enjoyed this exhibition and trip to the Seattle Art Museuem. Picasso strongly believed that a painting shouldnt be a copy of reality and compared painting to a way of keeping a diary. My favorite piece that i saw of Picasso's is his Portrait of Dora Marr. Dora Marr was one of Picasso's many wives who he potrayed as highstrung, dreamy, alert and watchful. (see above image)
