PERLA DE MUSEU / 2016 acrylic on paper

​The above painting has a Catalan title because it was inspired by a visit to the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona in November 2016. I turned the corner and there was Picasso's Woman in Hat and Fur Collar from 1937. It took my breath away, not just because it was a vivid piece but also due to lighting and strategic placement on its own dark wall for maximum impact. I painted Perla del Museu on a page I tore from a tattered old book on Impressionism. Only later did I notice the book had been published in 1937.
