One of the most influential painters in my life has been that of Pablo Picasso. I truly love his work and the reason he has so influenced my life is truly a simple one. I remember my grandmother having a simple print signed by pablo picasso himself. I remember when I went to her house I always wanted to go and stare at that picaso. The sketch was not a fabulous one, but still a Pablo Picasso. I was always so amazed at how someone from my family could own something from someone so famous. I guess that picasso was an influential factor in my choosing art as a career. Because of that print I learned everything about pablo picasso art. In fact today I myself own that same print and other picasso prints that I have come across, including a pablo picasso self portrait that I just love! I think my favorite work of his is the picasso still life, and his work done during the spanish civil war. I am such a great pablo picaso fan that I learned everything there was to learn about his life, and I have even followed the comings and goings of paloma picasso. I wonder if she really truly knows how many lives the paintings by picasso have touched!
