The children's art exhibition with its subject "My house – my blue planet" was held in KL National Library. I went there yesterday and indeed this was my first visit to KL library. I first thought that the event was held in the national library and only found that the library is just beside the Merdeka square.
It is not a grand exhibition. But I think that at least the organizer should put all the paintings or drawings on the wall, instead of laying them on the floor. Anyway, my curiosity is still remained, especially to find out how the children think about the world and how they express their ideas and dreams towards their beloved place. A poster entitled "We are all children of the world. We are against hatred", caught my very first attention. Living without hatred, can we? The drawing of a Penangite is well portrayed the "harmony" situation in Malaysia. Six children with different races, Malay, India, Chinese, play a game happily in a small village or Kampung. I just whispered to myself, "Honest and sincere interaction between different races in Malaysia is always a big question mark". There was one painting which I don’t know the meaning. Perhaps, someone can able to tell me. The painting is from Berlin.
"I had achieved Raffael's technical perfection at the age of 18, but for the rest of my life I strove to succeed in painting like a child."
-- Pablo Picasso

If everyone has the innocence of a child then they'd be no wars or racial or religious conflict in the world, I suppose. Too bad we all grow up and f*&k up the world. :)
Looks like you have an interesting life there in KL. Having fun?
Just try to expose myself on various kinds of events in KL.
My opinion : picasso was indicating that he has an adult intelligence at the age of 18 but his drawing is as pure as a child.
yeow, u may want to set the posted date for your comment, instead of only time.
No, what he's saying is that his technical ability was equivalent to Raphael's by the time he was 18 but for the rest of his life, he tried to paint with the purity of a child.
Anyone has the idea on the 4th photo - the meaning of the painting?
Some developer chopped down all the trees so we can see the moon clearly.
Thank you Malaysian government for approving new development projects so that trees don't block our view of the moon anymore.
