Surprise

I visited most of the exhibitions I wanted to see at the museum in my relatively short time there. I had about half an hour left, so wandered into a gallery and was surprised to see a collection of sculptures by Picasso, each one so different, in both materials, and in concept. What an amazing collection! And such variety. This one, called "Head of a Warrior" held my attention for some time. I would see one of the sculptures from a distance, and think: "Well, I will go look at that," thinking that it might be interesting, and then when I began closer inspection, I was amazed how I would be captivated by each of the pieces, in turn. I was stunned by his creativity! . I have seen photographs of some of them in books, of course, but you have to see them in person to appreciate them. What a wonderful and pleasant surprise this small exhibition was!
