Art review: Regional Juried Art Exhibition at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art

Art review: Regional Juried Art Exhibition at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art

Kurt Shaw writes:

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.
