“Fillette au bateau” by Pablo Picasso (1938)
The exhibition “Picasso Was Right” is on display at the Artists’ Market Community Center, 114 Richardson Ave. in Shohola. The opening reception will be held on June 10, from 4-6 p.m.
The event is designed to nurture young talent and provide young people with the experience of having an “opening night” showcasing their work.
Picasso was so successful because he knew the best and most precious art is childlike. It’s simple yet it’s deep; it’s fragile, but resilient; innocent and misbehaved all at the same time. The exhibit explores that concept via a gallery full of masterpieces by area artists age 16 and under.
A print of “Fillette au bateau,” an original painting done by Picasso in 1938 that recently sold for more than $22 million, will be on display through the reception.
Event co-sponsors the Barryville Area Arts Association and Artists’ Market Community Center have extended the original May 22 deadline for entries. Requests an entry form at http://barryvilleareaarts.org/OurCurrentProjects.html.
