Girl with Mandolin

I am a Picasso fan. For me, like many, he is a genius. I say is - because his works will never die. He is part of an elit of artists who changed the world. Actually he was, more or less, the reason why I did not become an artist. I thought I could never be as good as him.

Anyway, I decided to include in my weblog one of my favorite paintings, created by him. Since this weblog reflects me, this paiting had to be here since once I saw it I never forgot it and it became part of me too. It is called The Girl with the Mandolin. What I love about it, is called, Still Life. For me, the genius come from portraying living beings as if life stood still. So, if you think about it, it portrays that life is dynamic, changing and moving constantly - and he was able to take a snapshot of this life, an instant. At least that's how I look at these, seemingly deformed, portaits. Many mind find them awful, I find them beautiful.
