WHO SAID THAT?
Posted By drsao on April 23, 2011
OK – are you ready for a POP QUIZ?
Who said these things?
1905-1971 Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth
1936-1951 Art is an offensive weapon in the defense against the enemy.
1946-1973 It takes a long time to become young.
I spent my whole life learning to draw like a child!
You are right – PICASSO! (That is if you said Picasso!)
Catherine and I went to the exhibit in Richmond and we were just absolutely AWED at Picasso’s private collection of art. I still have pilo erection (ie goose bumps and, to tell you the truth my daughter, PREFERS that I not use the scientific nomenclature – pilo erection – but maybe she won’t read my blog…..LOL :))
Of course we weren’t allowed to take photographs *as we had anticipated* but we had no clue that we couldn’t write quotes on our program (really – I had to text the quotes to my daughter on my cell phone because I was asked to put my pen away (THIS IS BEFORE MY GRANDANGEL, Leanna, TOLD ME THAT I HAD A MEMO PAD ON MY CELL PHONE…..sigh…….technology is NOT wasted on the young!)
Leanna - my cellphone TECH ADVISOR
I have some beautiful photos of OUTSIDE the Museum and would have posted some artwork that I found by googling PICASSO (but when I tried it I got a virus……so I am not recommending this!)
NEEDLESS TO SAY – I RECOMMEND THAT YOU GO SEE THIS EXHIBIT IF YOU ARE ON THE EAST COAST – Richmond is the only city nearby where you can view Picasso’s private collection from Paris!
I am actually thinking of trying to incorporate a Picasso like theme in one of my next quilts – hey, it is all part of being a MODERN QUILTER! LOL

- I found out that Catherine LOVES rocks as much as I do!

It was simply a perfectly brilliant day and the exhibit – THE exhibit – was soooooooooooooooooo much more than I had ever imagined, it simply drew you into his world and creative genius, I have such a HUMONGO admiration and appreciation for the man and his art……… And my buddy bought me the magnet that translates from French – I do not seek, I find – okay, who has the goosebumps now??????????? Great minds baby, great minds……………… Celebrating the artistry within all of us, now THAT’S what life is all about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
