Pablo Picasso's Museum in Málaga

Last week we visited the famous museum of Pablo Picasso in Malaga. With "we" I mean Ricarda, Marcel and I. In 1881, Picasso was born in Málaga and that is why one of his museums is here (the other two are in Barcelona and in Paris). After we had wondered about the very long queue at the entry, we noticed that it was because of the celebration of the International Museum's Day, and the entry was for free.

Apart from Picasso’s pictures, there was another exhibition of the German artist Martin Kippenberger (1953-1997). Kippenberger was a big fan of Picasso and after Picasso’s dead in 1973, he dedicated him a series of pictures with the title "Jacqueline: The paintings Pablo couldn't paint anymore". Jacqueline was Picasso’s wife.

Even if I missed Picasso’s most famous pictures, the visit was very impressive for me, in spite of that I am not the biggest fan of museums :-) I also noticed that Picasso often painted naked women. So here you have an example of Picasso’s way of art: a picture with the title "Figures on a Beach".
Enjoy it!!!!
