Picasso - La Lecture


So I went to the Art Gallery of New South Wales just about 5 days back, I guess I forgot that I had an online journal, called the blog.
Anyway the art gallery was hosting a Picasso exhibition by the title of

Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, Paris 

It was was a really good experience, in my opinion and it was definitely worth my money.
If you live in Sydney and you're into art I really recommend you to go see his works for yourself.
It ends at 25 March 2012, so any time between now and then. GO.
One of my favourite works from the exhibition was La Lecture (The Reader) 
not just for the vibrant colours and expressive curves, it reminded me of books. Bing! A bonus. 
Apparently it's a portrait of Picasso's lover, Marie-Thérése. 
Anyhow there were so many more artworks there that I liked, I was surprised to see some classicism there, I only knew him for being a cubist and surrealist so it was interesting to see a different style. 

So if you do end up going, enjoy!
