Picasso was more than apainter & sculptor~
His home alone was beautiful art~
His life was full of imagination, magic & wonder...
His wife Jacqueline was a beautiful partner
in his every breath~
Picasso was a whimsical
sort of gentleman...
and a tender sweet man.
He loved his dog"Lump"...
and his friend Bridget Bardot too!~
Hello Dear Picasso!!
I know you are somewhere
laughing, watching pretty women
&
white doves fly right now...
but I just wanted to tell you
how much you are missed on our planet
today~

XO's

His art was genius! I cannot think of a contemporary artist that comes close to the brilliance or breadth of Picasso's work. You found some lovely photos to go with this post.

What a delightful post! Have you seen the Picasso and Lump book??? It is filled with wonderful images like these.
ReplyDeleteI love Picasso. My mother was a huge fan and he has surrounded our life a lot. I have been to his museums in the South of France.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute post honoring him, wow...
ReplyDeleteThis is really sweet. Could you imagine being in his life then or having that as your studio ? Your posts always bring me dreams ! Xo Lisa
ReplyDeleteOh that was just so beautiful, what a touching tribute to a very special man.
ReplyDeletehugs to you my darling,
xoxo
Yes he is. What a lovely post on dear Picasso.
ReplyDeleteI made a weenie dog sculpture titled PICASSO CAN'T HAVE A DOG. Just when I finished it, a biography of him came out about he and his beloved weenie dog. Who knew? You can see the sculpture at my sidebar.
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful post...a beautiful man...a beautiful women..beautiful home and life. Thank you...for a peek into his life. xoxoxo Have a wonderful day sweet one. xoxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI second that!
ReplyDeleteThere is something extremely special about a man who appreciates women like Picasso did ~ such an incredible respect and awe of the female form and beauty! And of course, we can't forget his devotion to LUMP (best name ever!). An artistic genius like no other....
ReplyDeleteDear Janet,
ReplyDeleteWhat a very sweet tribute. I am sure you are correct. He must be very pleased with how much he is still admired and adored.
Wishing you a beautiful day,
Betty
I enjoy your blog but I wonder if any of your readers have actually read about the real Picasso. Picasso as a person, father, lover, husband, etc. vs. Picasso the artist? By most accounts he was not a "nice" man.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely post and magnificent images inside Picasso's world.
ReplyDeleteHave a most delighful weekend.

now that was a man who knew how to live! he lived every minute of it to the fullest, how inspirational and of couse an artist genuis. his early work work was incredible!
ReplyDeleteKaren
Thank you for sharing such personal and beautiful photographs of the artist!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful photos. I think you should read one of his bios however - although he was a brilliant artist, he most certainly was NOT a nice father or husband. In fact, I would go so far as to say he was quite cruel to a lot of the women [and there were many] in his life.
ReplyDeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteWow, his studio alone is an art in itself! I can't imagine having such a talent that would change the world of art!
Thank you for sharing!

What a lovely post!! Thank you for sharing it! Have a great weekend!

What a beautiful post! I love Picasso's work... and his zest for life. We should all take a little lesson from this beautiful artist.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, xoxo Heather
Lovely post. I love the image of him on the beach with his beautiful wife. I wonder if my husband would follow me around on the beach to protect me from too much sun?!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! What a beautiful post! I loved seeing little snippets of his home.

Lovely tribute to a wonderful artist. We need more like him to help Mother Earth retain her beauty. Art is an expression of the soul and feeds the soul, frees the soul.

I was referred to you by another Francophile--Vicki Archer, author of MY FRENCH LIFE. This October she'll be coming out with another book that's wonderfully devoted to all things French called FRENCH ESSENCE. Is there any interest in covering the book on your site as well? Please feel free to emial me at candice.frederick@us.penguingroup.com or call 212-366-2803. Would love to speak to you!
ReplyDeleteHow amazing to stumble upon your blog just now... As a lover of Picasso myself, I just did a post on my blog, in honor of him, and of women through fashion. He was magic. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeletebon weekend,

a beautiful piece...
ReplyDeletewonderful post! I miss our dear pablo as well, socialist womanizer or not ;) he was truly a renaissance man and a wonderful artist!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog, but Picasso was a misogynist who treated the women in his life with cruelty and contempt. One of his exes (Marie-Therese Walter) hanged herself after his death. Another ex, Dora Maar, had a complete mental breakdown and required electroshock treatments. Jacqueline Roque (the woman pictured in your post)killed herself in 1986 with a gunshot to the head. He destroyed most of the women he was with...
