Picasso

The Picasso Museum in Madrid showed how his artistry evolved from a youngster to adulthood. At 13 years of age Picasso was drawing portraits.

Then he drew scenery and objects.

You could see how he started painting more abstract.

One of his most famous is Guernica.

And this one of his friend and colleague.

This also shows an evolution of his paintings starting from his portraits to his friend.

I think Picasso’s abstract paintings make you see more than meets the eye. Symbolism and metamorphosis come into play giving deeper meaning.

He was born the same day as me (Oct.25), so I feel a special connection to him… though I can only bask in the shade of his glory.
