Portraits of K

Picasso famously said, "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child." I sometimes wonder how Picasso would explain what he meant by these remarks. I imagine it had something to do with the unselfconscious truths drawings like these kindergarten self portraits reveal.  In all their variety- 

wild, self-contained, minimal, expansive, chaotic, dense, elegant and simple-we see a glimpse of how these children are so much the same and also so very,very different from one another. 

Thank you, Janine Sopp, for sending these.  Thank you, Kori, for providing this opportunity for our children.
