Sarah's Impressions of the Picasso Exhibit
Frankly, I was a bit disappointed over how crowded the exhibit was. I found it especially difficult to enjoyed the long hallway that contained the sketches and etchings, as the guard kept saying "Feel free to move along." I think I will go back over Spring break during the week.
That being said, it was marvelous to see the crafstmanship of the pieces, as you just cannot get that in a photograph. There was one piece that I found especially interesting: Large still life with a pedestal table. The thing that I found with the real work that is missed in photographs is that Picasso had incised lines into the paint, revealing under painting. This made me think about my quest for transparency in my work, and my desire to partially conceal and reveal in my work. Something to think about.
For some reason, I have been unable to paste onto this message. Ahh, the joys of technology. I will keep working on that.

C'est la vie. The crowds in Paris would be worse and the guards much more gruff. It is here - you were there. Thanks!
Transparency, time and motion were all so critical in Picaso's creative evolution. He went to the movies every week and became enamored with the transparency and movement of film.
