I had been to Italy specifically to view artworks throughout Europe when I was an art student in college so the trip I just took was NOT about the art (although it was unavoidable!) We really wanted to go just to relax and enjoy being in the Tuscan countryside; no lining up to see museums and art exhibits. We did go to a church with Renaissance frescoes - saw bits of Etruscan art here and there, sat in famous piazzas, but mostly we were there for the food, wine, and medieval villages!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910005928220163773.post-80095783501292594522011-04-14T20:43:32.456-04:002011-04-14T20:43:32.456-04:00Thank you, Weekend and Brush.

We had an exhibit here in Cleveland about 20 years ago and I took a group of students. Such an eye opener for me. I had minimal knowledge or rather understanding of Picasso at the time. I prepped my students for the visit, thus teaching myself. But seeing the works, face to face...ahhhh. So memorable and I really learned and understood Picasso. I had the good fortune to visit Paris about 10 years ago, where I visited the Musee National Picasso. Again, my eyes were opened. Wider. <br />I'm so glad you went to the exhibit!indigomarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924686419923499022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910005928220163773.post-82464611716831227792011-04-11T17:35:56.815-04:002011-04-11T17:35:56.815-04:00Hi Kathleen.

One of the most powerful moments I have ever had in front of a painting was Picasso's "Girl Before a Mirror" in the MOMA. I had tears streaming down my face as I took in his strokes, his color, and the obvious joy that he put into creating the piece. Prints, photos and pixels cannot replace the real thing.<br /><br />Your tribute to your visit is so Farber-esque. It takes a moment in time and translates it as only you can do. Beautiful! I can also see the joy that you put into creating it. It's obvious you were channelling a little Pablo...<br /><br />I attempted to emulate early Picasso when in college. I got the colors and the 'cubes' right, but honestly didn't get cubism at the time. You can see my attempt <a href="http://www.donmichaeljr.com/image.php?&gallery=3&image=Reclining%20Nude" rel="nofollow">here</a><br /><br />As for someone who could paint like Picasso, that would be Georges Braque. At one point they painted side by side and few people can tell the difference in who painted which. Who knows how far the collaboration could have gone had Braque not been severely wounded in WWI.<br /><br />-Don-Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549962962379079880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910005928220163773.post-54514608957887468532011-04-11T00:18:54.885-04:002011-04-11T00:18:54.885-04:00"You did what?"
