Headquarters Library Theater, 1201 Caroline Street, Fredericksburg


Mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 22. We will have a wine and cheese reception in the theater of the Central Rappahannock Library Headquarters in downtown Fredericksburg from 6-7pm. 

Following will be the film "The Mystery of Picasso:"

An exploration of the mind and motivations of Picasso, as he creates works live, in this exposé of a master at work. DVD. One of the greatest art documentaries ever made captures the exhilarating moment and mystery of creativity of the 20th century's greatest artist Pablo Picasso. French film director Georges Clouzot (Diabolique, Wages of Fear) persuaded his friend Picasso to perform his drawing and painting on glass while filmed from other side. The master creates 20 mesmerizing works. Casual comments between the two prove fascinating. In French with easy-to-read English subtitles."

Bring your friends and enjoy learning more from Picasso himself!

In conjunction with this, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond is having the only East Coast exhibit of masterworks by Picasso borrowed from the Musee Picasso in Paris, France.  This show opens in late February and I would like to organize a bus trip to see the exhibit.  Watch your emails for details later.
