Picasso and African Art

Talking Arts visited the Picasso exhibition this weekend at the Seattle Art Museum.   It is an amazing and exhaustive show with over 150 pieces of work from a man that produced over 50,000 works of art during his lifetime.   


One of the most important aspects of this great artist career is how much he was influenced by Africa and African Art.  Early on in the exhibition, the Seattle Art Museum goes to great length to insure your understanding of this influence and points out via specific paintings how this influence shapes specific works.    This show will only be in 3 US Cities.  Go and check it out, this is a rare opportunity to see one of the more important artist of the 20th Century.  

This show will be at the Seattle Art Museum until January 17, 2011.
