Picasso at the VMFA

Today, was supposed to be a super fantastic day where weather is concerned. Instead, it was mostly cloudy, and not incredibly warm out. Instead of going to Maymont I went to the VMFA to see the Picasso exhibit that's passing through. Seeing as it's a Monday the exhibit wasn't incredibly packed. Probably because most adults are hard at work earning a living. One of these days I'll join those ranks, but until then I'm going to live it up. The exhibit was fantastic. There were so many wonderful paintings, sculptures, drawings, and photographs. It was larger than I expected, but not overwhelming. I was definitely bummed about photography not being allowed. Here are some of my favorites from the Picasso exhibit...





Seeing the Picasso exhibit reminded me of when I was in Spain at the Prado and Rena Sophia. I absolutely loved the art there. Here are a few of my favorites from that trip in the summer of 2008...




 
I would love to go back to Madrid and be able to spend more than a few short hours at those museums. Of course I'd also want to drink sangria, dance all night, and shop a whole bunch too.
