this morning i went to the Picasso exhibition in Palazzo Reale, Milan. A truly intriguing and vast array of his works (237) ranging from 1898 to 1972. it was really interesting to see some work of the cubist perior so close, i mean they’ve some visual effect that’s not at all visibile when you look’em in a pic or on a book. Generally the nice thing was to see the whole career trough his life, how his style was always changing and never taking a rest. Very impressive also the last room, where vivid works of the latter period are placed in this big hall of the palazzo that was used for parties, and was heavily damaged by the bombing on world war II, so seeing art ruined by war side by side with masterpieces that are witness of a genius make us think. War obviously destroys people and that’s the biggest loss, but also the work of people, culture and all that comes along succumb and we need something to remind us of it.
