Virtual exhibition of cartoons dedicated to Pablo Picasso inaugurated in Brazil

Virtual exhibition of cartoons dedicated to Pablo Picasso inaugurated in Brazil, for the 50th anniversary of his death
With the title of Picasso among us, this is an exhibition that consists of more than 220 works by authors from 35 countries, and is organized by the Association of Cartoonists of Brazil, chaired by José Alberto Lovetro. 
In the most varied and enriching ways, just as graphic humor is characterized, with its nourishing, innovative, and provocative virtues, the cartoonists offer us their respective perspectives on the art of painting, where they include portraits of Picasso or reinterpretations of some of his most famous paintings, where the author, in a very personal way, faces a blank canvas. It is all or nothing. 
In this link you can see the complete exhibition:

The sea also represents a challenge for man, with its storms and unpredictable currents, but at the same time it is a source of inspiration and wonder. 
Today the protection of the marine environment, of the coastal areas and above all of the fauna and flora represent a challenge for our survival, as an indispensable regulator of the climate. 
We are waiting for you in Bordighera but don't forget to register and send us your drawings on the theme, by clicking on this link https://www.saloneumorismo.com/en/bando 
See you soon.
