CLIP OF THE DAY: Mix Master

"Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working" 
                                                    Pablo Picasso

For many he represents THE artist: daring, excentric, globaly celebrated, clever with shapes, forms and colour. But whoever studied his outstanding path knows he has been acknowledged to be the greatest draftsman of the twentieth century. My very favorite museum in New York, The Frick Collection just organized a very special exhibition that looks at the development of Picasso's drawings (we are talking about more than 50 works - from his precocious academic exercises to his worldly famous innovations of cubism and collage).  Picasso's Drawings, 1890–1921: Reinventing Tradition features loans from important public and private collections in Europe and the United States  and in Susan Glassi's own words (Frick's senior curator): "The show focuses on this fundamental aspect of his work, specifically in relation to his drawings, where his interaction with artists of the past often first emerged. Our project aims to take a fresh look at Picasso's drawing practice". Personally I think that this is what was missing: a Picasso exhibition for the world to really get to know the meticulous man behind abstract. 

CLIP-IT: To my dear friends and Clippers who I know are heading to NYC for Halloween: Picasso's Drawings, 1890–1921: Reinventing Tradition runs from October 4th -2011 through January 8th - 2012.
