So I will set the scene first. Tonight I attended a special presentation of Picasso and his collection, at GOMA, in Brisbane. This presentation was for people associated with Queensland Leaders and was presented to us by the GOMA Director, Tony Ellwood.

Apart from the fact this unique exhibition of Picasso’s work and his own personal collection (well some of it), was a great exhibition Tony gave us an insight into the history of Picasso (view: BBC History) and some of the influences on Picasso and his artwork.

Picasso is different to many artists, in several ways;

• he made a lot of money during his lifetime, rather than his value being raised after his death.
• he tried, experimented with and successfully worked with many styles throughout his long career
• he collected art from many other artists, and respected and promoted art / artists throughout his life

While I am no Picasso expert, what impressed me most about this exhibition was the way he approached his art with an open mind and a desire to continually evolve.

So what sort of web designer would he be?
