Managed to catch the Picasso exhibition before it ended on the 25th March at the NSW Art Gallery.  The artworks were flown in from Musée National Picasso, Paris with 7 decades of his career on display. It was awe-inspiring to see any artist dedicate their lives to their passion and captivating the whole world.

Picasso is mainly known for his surrealism and cubism but for some reason I was more intrigued in his more traditional/classical art pieces. I think there was a quote that exclaimed how it took him more effort to draw in a non-traditional way and how drawing like Raphael came easy to him, which I found fascinating has its usually the the other way round.

Here are some of the artworks I found myself being drawn to and hopefully I can get a get poster of one them and frame it... especially the last one.
