January's bookish art...


Pablo Picasso -- Woman With a Book 

"Books are the great loves of my life.
They make me laugh and weep and question and reflect on things.
They allow me to escape from myself.
They've changed me."
--Gael Faye

    I've really been changed by the books I've read, especially as I've started reading more non-fiction.

    Great quote! I love the picture, although I'm confused on why Picasso has the lady's breasts sticking out of her top. It looks uncomfortable. Ha!!!!!

    Picasso's work is definitely striking (to say the least) isn't it? Perfect quote is perfect, btw!

    I'm not a Picasso fan, but I do love the accompanying quote. "They allow me to escape from myself" - very interesting statement and so true!
