leaf on wood, oil on canvas with mirror

"IN A SHOW TITLED IMPRESSIONS OF HOME, WE CREATED WORKS BASED ON A PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOMES AND STUDIOS OF 10 FAMOUS ARTISTS IN FRANCE. PABLO PICASSO LIVED AT NO. 5 RUE DES GRAND AUGUSTINS DURING THE YEAR 1937 IN PARIS. THE CENTER FRAME REPLICATES THE DETAILS OF THE BUILDING AND HOLDS A MIRROR. THE MIRROR IS MEANT TO BE SYMBOLIC, FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING, OF THE VIEWER'S REFLECTION UPON THE FAMOUS WORKS NOW KNOWN AS THE WEEPING WOMEN SERIES THAT PICASSO PAINTED DURING THAT YEAR." MARY
