Picasso at the Seattle Art Museum

The Picasso exhibit was on display at the Seattle Art Museum and going to see it was all Kennedy wanted for Christmas. So under the tree she found a family membership and could hardly wait to get started using it.
Great modern art greeted us as we walked in. She was immediately taken in by the cars hanging from the ceiling in the lobby.

While we weren't allowed to take photos in the Picasso exhibit, it was okay in the rest of the museum. Here are some of our favorites:

Kennedy liked this still life because rather than being a perfect display of fruit and flowers, it depicted a table in disarray, as though a feast was over and it was time to get started cleaning up.

We took a photo of this one because Kennedy was interested in trying this technique at home by creating a painting and then leaving it out in the rain for a while.

The title of this one was Mother. I might look a little like this to my children when I have one nerve left and they are standing on it.

This was a fun one of children playing with bubbles. Kennedy enjoyed seeing children from a different time period enjoying the same childlike activities that she does.

Did you know that Seattle Art Museum has an Andy Warhol? Kennedy recognized it right a way.

We were walking down the hallway, when Kennedy looked into the gallery and saw this painting. She commented that it looked like a Jackson Pollock. I told her that it wasn't likely, but we could go check it out anyway. Sure enough, it was a Jackson Pollock original. I didn't know that the S.A.M. had one of those either.


We took a lunch break at the market and then stopped by the Hammering Man outside the museum on the way back in.

It was a great day with my daughter. Her perspective on art is fun and fresh. I love that she appreciates so many different artistic mediums. We are both looking forward to our next visit back to the Museum.
