And as we continued through the art gallery, to the next floor in the modern wing. The next photo to grab my attention was that of Pablo Picasso and his imaginative piece, the old guitarist. This photo also was craftily made with the use of oil on the panel. This painting was produced by Picasso when a close friend of his committed suicide, coinciding with his "Blue Period". What intrigued me the most about this photo was actually not the photo at all; nothing about its composition and color scheme. But the fact that there is a scrapped photo underneath. It is said to maybe have been a woman in a disturbed or worried position. This is interesting because paintings can change depending on the mood of the artist and the time period. Overall, the art museum was an eye opening experience that left me with a greater appreciation for the various styles and artworks artists create. And the guidance of Mr. Peck helped greatly as he narrated the pieces in both the contemporary section and the more modern section of the art museum.
