Last Wednesday I was lucky enough to attend a preview for one of the most talked about art exhibits in San Francisco – Picasso and American Art. Now, unless you live under a rock in San Francisco you know that the exhibit at SFMOMA displays Picasso’s works alongside the works of famous American artists that have been inspired by Picasso. So, when the opportunity to be among the first to check out this exhibit came my way - I jumped on it.

To say that the exhibit was large would be an understatement. By the time Picasso died, he had more than 4,000 masterpieces. Seeing Picasso’s work alongside some of the greatest American artists was amazing and the complete breadth of work that was inspired by this man was astounding. At one point I found myself standing just inches from Femme Assise (Seated Woman) and it was then that I realized this was a once in a lifetime opportunity!

If you will be visiting San Francisco between now and the end of May, I highly recommend stopping by the SFMOMA and checking it out.
