Today´s Museum Adventure

When I managed to get everything else out of the way, it was museum time. Today was the ´Centro de Arte Reina Sofia´ which is basically 20th century art with an emphasis on Spanish artists. One of the main pieces that I wanted to see was Picasso´s "Guernica" (which is a massive painting in response to the Germans bombing a civilian area of a Spanish town in 1937).

It was OK. I respect Picasso but never really been an admirer (actually think he was the critical link in the chain in modern sculpture ´falling apart´ - see his cardboard guitar sculpture for further info). I was also a little underwhelmed by Salvador Dali´s lack of representation given he is an important Spanish artist (they had a handful of his works but I think the show in Sydney a few years ago had better quality).
