PICASSO PLAYED AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN MY ART APPRECIATION AND DEVELOPMENT.
I HAVE BEEN INTRIGUED BY HIM AND HIS WORK SINCE I WAS A YOUNGSTER. HIS
INFLUENCE ON THE ART WORLD, AND ME, IS SIGNIFICANT AND POWERFUL.

I typically stay clear of ecclesiastical art, well, ecclesiastical anything, really.
This piece just sums it up [for me!]: Beware of the girl with the luscious apple.

Beautiful! "Avenue of Poplars at Sunset" one of my favorite of his pre-Impressionist works. Another is his "Autumn Landscape at Dusk."

Picasso was born 25 October 1881.

Beautiful! I have always been in awe of his ability to capture her lightness and grace. Step back and just take her in - you can see her dancing.

I am not find of Picasso but this is stunning. I have always loved impressionist artists the best.
