Les Demoiselles D'Avignon

 (click to enlarge)

"Pick a famous painting, try to keep the structure but change the context" - Dylan's (14) latest school art project.

He chose Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and came up with this last night using the graphics tablet we bought him for Christmas.

I love art. I love my children.

For Dylan, then, Mon Grand

Just a taste of what's to come...

Do you remember me telling you how much I'd love to have gone to see The Toys of The Avant Garde Exhibition in Malaga?

Well, fly over now to Mondo-blogo and feast your eyes on the jaw-droppingly wonderful (no, no words can describe how much I love this sort of thing) set of catalogue scans posted there.

Oh-là, sacré billet!

I'm OK, 

Taking deep breaths, 

Ecstatic that I've saved enough pocket money to buy my own copy too.
