Just some random visual colors and textures from the Raval and Bario Gothic.I did find the Picasso Museum. The security was really high here, thus no photos. But it was really crowded and in a great old area of the city. Picasso is from and lived most of his life in Barcelona. He is widely known for his cubism works. Those achievements only came later in life. Most of Picasso’s work was highly refined portrait work. This museum has three huge rooms that contain pieces that span his entire lifetime.  After staring at his work for several hours, I have found that he was a good logo artist. A lot of his work is highly repetitive thus the way he would draw faces and animals were so simplified that they would make cool logos or graf tags.

Barcelona has been home to a lot of famous people. From artists Salvedor Dali, Antoni Gaudi and Pablo Picasso, to footballer Cesc Fabregas, NBA player Pau Gasol and President of the Olympic committee Jaun Antonio Sammarauch. This might explain partially why the Olympics were here in 1992.
