I found an article in The Mail On Sunday written by author Mark Hudson who reviewed this exhibition (6 June 2010).

Mark Hudson comments on Picasso’s motives for his paintings and says: ‘If this exhibition overstates its case, it does provide an intriguingly different angle on an artist whose work has become almost overfamiliar. And it brings together a glorious collection of works, many of them little seen. If you're anywhere near Liverpool, you must see it.’
This is an exhibition that I would like to see but due to the distance have had to view what is included online. As such, I am limited to the pictures that are included on the website but am able to find other websites of his work. I also found a website entitled Picasso – The Blue Period which gives an explanation of his thinking around paintings produced during the period 1901-04.

For someone who had never had a chance to study art and the theories behind it I am discovering a whole new world thanks to the internet. It's like being a customer in a sweet shop where you can choose what you like and have as much as you like, and keep coming back.
I have always found Picasso’s painting very disturbing as I find it hard to understand the significance behind them. The explanations given with the paintings, Mark’s review and the article by The Art Appreciation Society have given a whole new meaning to the featured paintings.
