Recently we went to a special exhibit at Cincinnati Art Museum. These were paintings by Pablo Picasso entitled Out of Bounds. The museum notes, “The year 2023 marks the 50^th anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), perhaps the most innovative and influential artist of the 20^th century. The Cincinnati Art Museum is celebrating his legacy with an unprecedented exhibition, the first to examine Picasso’s lifelong engagement with landscape. Picasso Landscapes: Out of Bounds brings to our galleries paintings and sculptures by the artist from some 25 public and private collections across the United States and Europe.”

I have never ever cared for his cubist styles. A few of the items in this exhibit showed he really could paint in styles I liked! Well, at least twice.

He could have been an impressionist!

Some of the items looked as if they were drawn by a child with crayons. I should have taken a photo for you!

Here is one of Bob’s favorites.

There are likely folks around the world who like his art along with many collectors. Give me an impressionist any day!
