During Christmas break I visited my brother in Seattle. At the time the Seattle Art Museum had a Picasso exhibit from Musée National Picasso in Paris. It took me almost three hours to walk through the entire exhibit. I learned a lot about Picasso's life, his muses, and what influenced him. This painting if one of my favorite portraits by Picasso. It is of Dora Maar who was one of his muses. The works he painted during the "Dora Maar period" are my favorites. I love the way he painted from opposing perspectives and the way in which he used vibrant colors.
