What art have I seen? Picasso Museum Malaga
More interesting than the one in Paris because it’s better curated, less about quantity.
Interesting attempt to break up the idea of ‘primitivism’ – would have liked that to be more developed: what aspects of which objects influenced Picasso in which ways?
Having seen ‘5 Friends: John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Cy Tombly’ recently you can see why if Picasso so dominated the landscape you turn away from his approach to the rejection of constraint on thought or action… find other means.
What art have I seen? Picasso Museum, Paris
Permanent collection and the temporary exhibition bringing together works by Picasso with works by Alexander Calder. Came away with a renewed respect for Calder’s judgement and elegance. Some of the Picasso works… less so.
