175669 4 Location 619723 <p>The museum focuses on Picasso's youth and early carreer as a painter. It certainly gives credence to the notion that he was a prodigious child&nbsp;and that his sometimes childish-looking later progressive works were not the result of a lack of ability in realism. If I remember correctly, one of the inclusions is a painting which his father had started and left and the child Pablo finished, causing his father to leave painting forever.</p> <p>There was also a really interesting (temporary, I think) exhibit of Picasso's version of&nbsp; Velazquez's "Las Meninas"--very cool with a ton of sketches and prework showing the development of Picasso's interpretation.</p> 2009-03-07T20:02:18-08:00 564133897 2009-03-07T20:02:18-08:00 0 0 280561 175669 0 256666 0.0 2009-03-07T20:02:18-08:00 0.0 2009-03-07T20:02:18-08:00 98915 0
