Picasso Museum

The world would be a different place without those that are mentally ill
in our society. Those few challenge the minds of others in the society.
From inventions to art, the world has been changed by them. When I was in
the Piccaso Museum I had the idea that maybe Piccaso was a little off the
deep end. His art really challenged my thinking.

This museum is in Malaga, which is where Piccaso was born. The museum
had 12 rooms of paintings organised according to time. The museum
presented his early works where his paintings were fairly normal to later
works where the lines get blobbish and irregular to his ending ones which
are getting a little more regular. There were a few tidbits of painted on
pottery.

My favorite was titled Man. It was the oddest and most colorful of
the paintings we had seen. It had many different color pallets. Also it
was in the second to last room. It was a sombrero on a sphere with a
bunch of out of the ordinary lines that distantly resembled a body.

In my opinion his paintings were a little overload on the weird side.
As I said in the begining, I think that Piccaso might have been a little
off the deep end. One of his painting that was one of the weirder ones
looked like a pair of boots laying on the beach on top of a tan ball that
has two white circles paited on it. His painting were really weird and in
that case chllenged my mind, and plenty of other peoples' minds, too.

While in Malaga we also took a tour to some dolmens, a natural park, and
a town calld Ronda which was up in the mountains. Attached is a picture
of Aunt Michele and I at a restaurant ovelooking the gorge in Ronda and
the "new bridge" which as built in the 1800's.
