I was already a hugh Picasso fan when I visited the Prodo Museum in July. One could spend days in the Prado and still not see it all. As luck would have it there is now a special Picasso exhibition at both the Prao and the Sophia in Madrid, Spain. It was interesting and inspiring to see where Picasso found his inspiration and training. The Prado exhibition forcussed on his interpretation of Valezques's Las Meninas, where as the Sophia focusses on his war paintings. It was Picasso himself that said; "Painting is not to decorate the walls, no Painting is an instrument of War" .. or something like that. I was more intreegead by his war paintings at the Sophia than his other works at the Prado. I do wish the Prodao exhibition had included Goya's versions of Las Meninas as well.
