This post is long overdue! Before I left New York, I checked out the Picasso Sculpture exhibit at MoMA (Museum of Modern Art)…a few times, which is why I've got hundreds of photos to share! It's a wonderful expansive exhibit that takes up the entire fourth floor of the museum. I did my best to edit the number of photos down, so come with me for a quick visit to the museum!
After seeing the exhibit I was very inspired to create. I was so impressed by the wide range of materials and styles, not to mention the sheer volume of art! I admire a great deal about Picasso, but it is his fearless pursuit of the new that fascinates me. I strive to be as fearless in my own art explorations! However I discussed the exhibit with my brother, who had also seen it, and he didn't like it. He said that he found it very cold. Looking back, I can totally see that. I guess I found myself inspired, as an artist, by the materials and range of styles. He, as a viewer, didn't find an emotional connection.
How about you? What is your takeaway from this amazing exhibit?
Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. If you're an eagle eye, you'll be able to spy both me and my friend Nathalie in these photos….
P.P.S. I'll be on HSN with the ScanNCut tonight in the midnight – 1am EST hour, and then tomorrow (Thursday) in the 5pm – 6pm EST hour. Hope you'll tune in!
That was fun! Thank you Julie for sharing your visit of the Picasso Sculpture show!

Julie, one of those sculptures, the little wooden box, looks like a deconstructed shoe shine box. I have my dad’s old one, and I love it. Do you think that’s what it was?

Oh, Julie, thank you so much for posting and sharing this exhibit. I love the lines, shapes and texture in Picasso’s work. I’m at a junction in life now where I’m looking to simplify, deconstruct subjects down to its armature, basic shapes without fluffs – just the bare bones of lines and shapes, and the essence of things. So, I totally enjoy seeing these images. This exhibit inspires me to take a trip to this museum and absorb myself in this fantastic realm of endless inspiration. Blessings. 🙂

Not super impressed I must say but the guitar and the pregnant woman “spoke” to me for some reason. The texture and variety of materials is pretty cool though.

It inspired me to spend more time with simple supplies. My granddaughter at 4 is a budding artist and loves to make sculptures from yogurt containers, Styrofoam, tp rolls. We are going to have some fun with this the next time we visit.

Thanks for sharing! Looking at it made me think “Wow, once you are that famous just about anything you come up with becomes a work-of-art”, whereas if the average person made the same thing it would pretty much look like no-big-deal.

As a Chicagoan, I have a special bond so to speak with Picasso’s art. I don’t remember ever seeing the guitar in the Art Institute, but I must ask – did he use a toilet roll? Sure looks like it!

Wow! This was cool. What an incredible range of styles; what brilliant work. Some of these were pieces I had never seen. What a wonderful surprise! Thanks for sharing this. I love your blog. 🙂

Thanks a lot for sharing, Julie. The amazing thing to me is Picasso’s limitless creativity, his ability to see the possibilities in the simplest of simple things, and to transform the possibilities into realities. He was not afraid to play, and obviously he was fearless when it came to showing the world what he made. He must have had a lot of fun with his art.
