50 - Picasso

So - my Dad and I have had a running debate for years now about the brilliant artist, Picasso. The debate is, in fact, about whether he was brilliant or slightly overrated (without much talent).

In an effort to "encourage" my point of view, one year I gave my Dad a big Picasso print for his birthday. The subject is one I knew he loved, so I thought perhaps it might sway him over to my camp. It hasn't, but the print still hangs in his office - so that's something, right?

Art and beauty, though, are in the eye of the beholder. So he and you can have his/your own opinion. I am in the brilliant camp.

Here is one of my most favorite Picasso's. It hangs in my closet hallway where I do ironing. He captured the task completely, wouldn't you say?!
#50 on my list of Favorite Things is this Picasso of WOMAN IRONING
