Spain in the Eyes of Picasso
Barcelona has so many beautiful structures to behold. The works of Gaudi that was describe as things from heaven which is made by Gaudi’s hand are housed and made in this city.
But if you know Picasso, the most documented and celebrated artist in Spain. Then perhaps you will not leave Barcelona without a visit to Picasso Museum. Museu Picasso located in Barcelona, Spain contains the most extensive and wide-spread collection of the artworks by Pablo Picasso. Pablo Picasso’s birthplace is Malaga so it was originality though of by Jamie Sabartés, Picasso’s bestfriend, to put up a museum here but it was Picasso himself that suggested Barcelona; for the reason that he has long connections with the city.
Who is Pablo Picasso then? Anyone who has visited Barcelona and had not visited Picasso’s museum will regret it with his life. For the museum is the most visited museum in the city and very much part of history not only of Spanish history but also of World History. Picasso’s paintings depicted the World Events during his era. His artworks were so powerfully made and most controversial that it has passed cultural barrier. One painting which has been so talked about and even traveled to Korea.
The Picasso Museum is always crowded with tourist so make sure that you come early even before it opens. It is not allowed to take pictures inside the museum and others opted to take pictures of the outside building. Picasso also has a museum in Paris, Japan and perhaps other parts of the world.
I suggest that you do a little research on Picasso to appreciate the museum more. One should take not of the periods (Blue period and Rose Period) so you can relate to the pictures and the labels. Getting acquainted of Picasso’s painting names will really make a difference than hitting the museum without any background knowledge at all.
