Picasso At The Seattle Art Museum
February 12, 2010 · Written by Becki French · Filed under Events

The Seattle Art Museum will be presenting Pablo Picasso’s work starting October 8th 2010 and will continue until January 9th, 2011. Pablo Picasso is one of the most radical and influential artists of the 20th century. The exhibition will showcase nearly every phase of Picasso’s artistry and career. Not only will his paintings be on display, but also his genius, style, unending inventiveness, and unique creative process.

The collection of his paintings will be drawn from the Musee National Picasso in Paris. The Musee National Picasso is the largest repository of Picasso’s work in the world. The exhibition will feature over 150 awe-inspiring paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, and photographs. Due to the Musee being closed for renovation, it has allowed the worldwide tour of an event of such unprecedented measure. This is the first, and may very well be, the last opportunity for an event of this nature to occur.

This particular collection of Picasso’s work is especially significant because it represents Picasso’s own personal collection. The paintings and other art that he intended to use to build his own artistic legacy.

This event is an opportunity of a lifetime. Even if you’re not an art buff, it’s a window to the mind of one of this century’s greatest artistic minds. Mark this event for your calendar’s folks.
