Museums and exhibitions are always on my list of places to visit and this is one of the greatest things that travel can grant me.
Paris has many of excelent options for those who appreciate art and history. There are museums for all tastes and interests far beyond the Louvre and d’Orsay, but we leave it to another post!
For now, I stick to the major cultural event of the city in the second semester: Picasso.mania at Grand Palais!
I love Picasso! His paintings are my favorite! His Museum is my favorite! I confess that I would like to be an expert in art to explain it technically and rationally. But all can say is that his works get me and the explanation is almost childish: colors, shapes, expressions…. Of course there was a lot of study, research and technique involved, but he makes everything look really simple and easy! It’s fun and lovely to distinguish the different phases of his career by observing his works exhibited in the museum that has his name!
That´s why I’m so excited with this new exhibition in town, which will have greater focus on Picasso’s figure and the influence he has had on many artists, such as painters, poets, writers and filmmakers. The exhibition is punctuated by some of his works housed in Musée Picasso and Pompidou.
Can´t wait to visit it
