Oh, man. I went to the Picasso museum the last time I was in Paris and I was lucky because the day after I went, the museum closed down for renovations until 2012! I had no idea it was closing, but just showed up and had good timing. I also had no idea that Pablo Picasso had designed costumes and masks for a Commedia production.
Below are photos of his Pulcinella sketch and mask. Look closely at the mask. It's made of wood and canvas, and totally nontraditional. I love it (sort of)!

I have just released a new blog about Commedia dell'Arte and Vulgar Comedy in my quest to popularize and spread these forms of theatre.
I also hope it will start a deeper discussion on the subject here on the net. So please feel free to surf the site and comment on what you read.
I hope you like it!
