Picasso/Matisse and a ten year old...

I took AJ to see the Picasso/Matisse show at the North Carolina Museum of Art yesterday. The show mainly consisted of pieces collected by Etta and Claribel Cone, wealthy and adventurous sisters from Baltimore who's family made it big in the textile industry in North Carolina.

The show was decent. There were lots of studies and portrait sketches and a painting from the blue period that I wasn't familiar with. All in all though, I thought the show was far too "generally" historical in that kind of " here's Monet, here's Cezanne, here's Picasso, get it?" kind of way. I was hoping for more specifics on that particular time in Paris and what it was like to be a wealthy woman with Bohemian leanings at the time. Not to be though. Still, AJ seemed to like it which was the whole point, so, mission accomplished.
