Picasso Sketch

I've always admired great artworks and their famous creators. In this particular sketch, we have the work of the great Pablo Picasso. He was a famous Spanish artist in the early 20th century. His career was quite prolific and versatile. Picasso's work included over 50 thousand pieces of art. They include paintings, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, prints, rugs, and tapestries. His most notable paintings include "Garçon à la pipe", which sold for $104 million and "Dora Maar au Chat", which sold for $95 million. At the time of his death, his estate taxes were paid to the French government with his own works of art and also those of Henri Matisse from which he exchanged art with.

I am not an art expert, but I do appreciate beautiful paintings and other artwork. Surely, I cannot afford paying millions for Picasso's paintings, but his pencil sketches are much cheaper in the four to five figure range. Take the dog sketch for instance. It is incredibly simple, but it is distinctively Picasso if you saw his other works. At the same time, the simplicity makes it seem like a child could draw it, but wouldn't it be a good conversation piece to have in the home? You friends can ask, "so did your kid draw that for you at school?" Your response, "if you mean my kid is Picasso, then yes" and then have a nice laugh. By the way, this pencil sketch cost $6,000. If you have that kind of money as spare change, you may decide to buy it. As nice as it would be to have a Picasso original, it is definitely too pricey for my budget. I will opt for a nice Picasso print instead.
