Among many more notable works, Jaime
Cooper's oil painting, “Picasso in the Hall of Bulls,” is another
standout for the remarkable likeness in a portrait of the great artist
Pablo Picasso.
“I read an anecdote about Picasso that said
he visited the Hall of Bulls cave paintings in Lascaux, France, looked
up at them and said, “My God, we have learned nothing.” I was fascinated
that paintings up to 30,000 years old impressed Picasso in such a way. I
strove to capture this moment in my painting,” says the Ligonier-based
artist and art instructor.
