"Picasso Looks at Degas" is a wonderful exhibition at a wonderful museum, The Clark, in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Yes, Picasso was a great artist, and yes, he stole. Here he stole from one of the best. Degas more than holds his own here, he shines. This exhibition is well worth the pilgrimage.
Thanks for the link...
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the Picasso vids on youtube? Tiny snippets of his life...I need to see if there might be anything on Degas, if only in stills...
DJ,
ReplyDeleteThe Picasso videos on youtube are fantastic! It's so interesting to see how he creates, building strength in layers. Thanks for a great tip!

Glad you enjoyed it...
ReplyDeleteIf you're a Georgia O'Keeffe fan, try this one, where she speaks of her love for the western countryside. Love that confident, but non-offensive attitude...
(She also taught for a brief time at a college here in SC.)
Enjoy~
