Advanced Drawing and Painting
We will be looking at works of art by Pablo Picasso in the next couple of weeks. I first fell in love with the work of Picasso when I was in Barcelona and visited the Picasso Museum. Up until then I hadn't realized that as a teenager he was painting stunning realistic oil paintings, rendering fabric like Da Vinci. I always thought of Cubism when I thought of Picasso, not realism. My limited exposure to Picasso didn't make me feel like he was an artist that I needed to discover more about...was I wrong. His work was constantly evolving...his critics and the world loved him for that.
At the age of 76 Picasso said, "Everything I have done is just the first step on a long path. It is only a preliminary process, which must be developed much later on. My works must therefore be considered each in relation to the others, always taking into account what I have done and what I am going to do."
