Notable Paintings at the Picasso Museum

Some notable paintings at the Museu Picasso (absolutely no photos are allowed) - all of these are by Picasso except the two by Gris:

1) Science and Charity, 1897 (Notice the woman's right hand is green near the bed - but left hand is white closer to her face which is also white. Perhaps this signifies the change from health to sickness.)

2) Painter Working, 1965

3) Bottle Anis del Mono, 1915 (even the signature is a work of art on this one)

4) Alcova Dues Habitacions

5) Balco Tancat

6) Cafe 4 Gats

7) Els Colomins

8) Las Meninas (Conjunt), 1957 (this one is very interesting as it's Picasso's interpretation of Velazquez's Las Meninas, 1656)

And a couple of ceramics:

9) Plata Espanola Escena de Cursa Amb Peix

10) Plat Arrodonit Mascara Negra

And finally a couple by Juan Gris (They're known as "visual rhymes"):

11) Guitar and Fruit Bowl, 1926

12) Pierrot, 1919
