Last week was inaugurated the temporary exhibit Picasso in front of Degas at the Picasso Museum. Today I'm spending my rare afternoon off enjoying it and I can't stress enough how much I've loved it.
Although belonging to different generations, they were once neighbors in Montmartre (Paris) and had friends in common - but there is no evidence they ever met. Anyway, Degas was always a reference for Picasso until his late days.
Don't miss the comparisons of each artist visions of dancers and bathing ladies, and the (scandalous!) sense of humor of Picasso portraying Degas amongst prostitutes in his series of engravings.
