Un superbe collage de Picasso entouré de ses visions féminines (mais pas vraiment féministes ça c’est une autre histoire) Je te souhaite une bonne année.
Excellent Picasso art piece! You portrayed his art and his style so superbly in this presentation of his work as you incorporated it into your own impression of Picasso as the painter and the man, which is beautiful and profound! Also, thank you so much for the translation as I am posting it in the next challenge so everyone can read the interview and know what Picasso was saying!
And forgive me for my faux pas...I should have said, "Our Dear French Friend" because I should not have automatically assumed that by you being French that you lived In Paris or near there! Sorry for that! I have been to Paris but was there for only 4 days and although I, being romantic and whimsical about the city, fell in-love with her on the spot, but was not there long enough to see the inner workings of the social, economic, and political parts of the culture that are not so romantic! I knew about the "sewer people" that are homeless that resort to crime and rob the citizens there and the tourists every day! As we embarked from the subway from the airport very late the first night arrived there, I knew we were being followed by two suspicious characters that the police apprehended when we stepped out on the street! The police had been watching them and as if they knew these two men were probably planning to rob us! And me, with my two big suitcases, because I never travel light, probably looked like a possible target with much to be taken! And in reading what you left in the message and understanding that if you are glad not to live in Paris then there certainly is a part of that city that has many faults and problems! And unfortunately, I fell in-love with the outer allure of the persona of Paris and being American and an artist, caught up in the romantism and fantasy of Paris as I perceived it to be but actually as she is... the reality of the culture!!! So, I assume that you do live in France and would definitely know the better places of this country that would fill my love of all things French! Because I adore the French, the language, the architecture, the people, the country, the whole way of life!! But I do know that Paris was not as clean as I expected, the traffic was a nightmare! You will see people killed daily in the streets from auto accidents and motorcycle accidents. The day of our departure as we were being taken to the airport, we passed a motorcyclist that had just wrecked his motorcycle and was lying face down in the street in a puddle of blood!! No helmet!! I could only assume he was critically injured or worse! No one had called for an ambulance! Please pardon my assumption as I would not want to offend my dear friend!!! I do understand as there are cities in America, I feel the same way about!! I think New York City is a disgrace in some ways as in some places of the city are so run-down and dirty and the crime is terrible! I used to have the same romantic notion of this city as I did of Paris! The streets are not safe day or night! It is a shame that over the years, such a huge cultural city with so much to offer has been so poorly managed and supervised so that it cannot be fully enjoyed and appreciated by the people that live there or the tourists! I have read that Central Park is overrun with huge wharf rats from the garbage and trash always left behind! Homeless people sleeping on the park benches! Very Sad!! And hope this message does not offend anyone living in New York City!!
Anyway, so happy to have you back (you were missed) and hope your holidays were especially wonderful and thank you for joining in on the challenge!
3D no less. I'm impressed, this is terrific dear friend. Big hugs and best wishes coming your way from here.
