Laura, I think you have indeed appreciated more of Picasso by seeing his progression as an artist rather than some of his more abstract conclusions. In fact if you see some of Da Vinci's older works created without the finishing armies used for his earlier masterpieces, when his eyesight was failing, you see a more primitive yet nonetheless powerful window into the mans incredible talent. I've never really related my acting to my visual art except when doing some set design on a couple of plays. I think all art forms influence one another and there is nothing more spectacular than seeing a work that possesses all of the artistic expressions working in unison. To be transported to another plane through music, painting, sculpture, dance, film is a gift we can receive only if we make the effort . I've never regretted going to an art exhibit ,perhaps because it truly is almost up to you whether you linger around a work or not. Theatre, film, dance on the other hand requires a commitment on your part which can be both rewarding and trying depending no the material. That said it is always better to make a commitment to attend as opposed to just controlling the remote. For those interested I will be spending my holiday at the ranch as I pretty much always do.I hope everyone has a good thanksgiving. love on ya Stewart

Women Running on the Beach is one of my favorites by Picasso but I've also found Girl Before a Mirror interesting because, it's like the quote you posted... are we to paint what we see or what's behind it? She's obviously standing before a mirror as the title suggests but the mirror doesn't reflect the girl exactly as how she is. So, one might wonder... did Picasso paint her as he saw her and her reflection as how he may have seen what was behind the physical or maybe even as how she possibly saw herself?
