Today Rob and I visited the National Gallery for Museum Thursday. It's focus is on post-Byzantine (1453-present) Greek and Western European painting and sculpture. The painting below called Female Head was painted by Pablo Picasso in 1939. Picasso donated it to the Greek people in honor of their brave resistance during the Nazi occupation. It is a portrait of the photographer Dora Maar (Picasso's companion between 1936 and 1943) who documented the complete production of Picasso's well known work called Guernica.
