PICASSO

Cezanne was obviously a massive influence on 20th c movements like cubism/the fauves/and probs some others I can't remember. His sculptural approach to painting is something Picasso is almost like a tribute band to in his early work.

I went to that Tate "1936" show last year and the degree of invention and variation convinced me that that was his "best" period. Completing wildly different colour schemes and designs like within a single week, or even day sometimes, totally superhuman.

i wish i went to that glumdalclitch! i read about it. seemed incredible

i want some more discussion here folks. participation is part of your grade

Saw JBRL posting about this elsewhere.

I love the famous "Weeping Woman" and hoped to paint-by-numbers recreate it on wood, varnish it, and hang it in a surprising spot in the back garden
