Picasso Museum, Barcelona

This was a really cool museum! I learned so much about Picasso. He was a wonderful painter when he was just thirteen years old and he painted normal pictures. There were beautiful portraits of people, landscapes and normal everyday scenes. He did not start painting the pictures that he is most known for until much later in life. I like his earlier stuff much better.

The museum does not allow photography so we got a few photos off of the internet. I especially like the first picture. It is one of Picasso’s friends and when you compare the painting to the actual photo of the man, they really do look alike.

In one case he painted multiple pictures of the same girl, distorting her in different ways, but you could see that it was the same person.
