Reviews
After having read this opinion, I have a greater knowledge of and appreciation for the works of both Picasso and Degas as well as many of their contemporaries. Considering the fact that I will be in Barcelona and visiting the Museu Picasso for this exhibit I considered it a must read.As with all aspects in life, the study of a subject matter and the opinions of others with more knowledge than yourself is key in developing your own opinion and increasing your knowledge.I thank the authors for their expert insight and the opportunity to see two "masters" in such detail simultaneously.
