Hi, I normally recommend my students using the preposition ‘by’ in the sentences like
The local museum has three paintings BY Picasso.
By recently I ran into that paragraph in the Longman dictionary
***********
9 used to talk about things produced by a famous or skilled writer, artist etc:
the plays of Shakespeare
the paintings of Picasso
the work of a great architect
***********
So, is the following sentence correct too?
The local museum has three paintings OF Picasso.
Or should I recommend my students to avoid using this preposition in such cases?
