Picasso Invades Your Life

Pablo Picasso is an important artist. Important enough to not only have his paintings exhibited the world over, but to have not one but at least three large museums devoted to him. We favor Barcelona's Museu Picasso over the Paris and Malaga versions. It's home to a massive collection of Picasso works, including a large part of his early work donated by the great painter himself.

It's not only ogling the masterpieces of his Blue Period (clearly inspired by over-ordering in that one color, we suppose) or trying to interpret the shapes and colors of cubism that keeps us happy at Museu Picasso. Even the gift shop has been designed with care, and you can buy more than just the standard art gallery books, prints and postcards: the curators have gifts designed "to invade our everyday life" and assure us "that you will be giving an original present, which has personality." Now that's what you can bring back to annoying Aunty Jo--a gift with personality that'll invade her life. Picasso's perfect.
