#BookmarkMonday: Picasso + side trip to two art galleries

We recently went to the Winnipeg Art Gallery's Picasso: Man and Beast Exhibit and got a fill of Picasso's wonderful work, particularly his etchings. (I have to say that I was disappointed there were only three paintings.) Naturally a souvenir was called for and this colouring book* was the perfect one - I grabbed a notepad paper there and it's now a bookmark!

Curious about the WAG exhibit? Here's a snap of Femme Assise (or Seated Woman), a 1927 piece. I have a few more photos on my Instagram.

I was pumped to have actually seen the piece The Young Ladies of Avignon at The Museum of Modern Art in our trip to New York. It's a shockingly huge piece!

So many works by Picasso I don't know where to look. . . . #momamuseumofmodernart #pablopicasso #picasso #theladiesofavignon #painting #art #moma #cubism

I have to say that I can't go home without a souvenir from an art gallery - even if it's just a (very overpriced) magnet or bookmark. I may as well as hand over my wallet.
