Possessive?! As a PLURAL?!
Pablo Pablo Pablo Picasso, artistically gifted but some say he’s an asshole
We’re not all Byrons either, apparently.
Profile of Human Rights, 1892
Picasso would have been 10 or 11 years old.
Picasso when he was trying, vs Picasso when he was cashing out on his fame, throwing some paint on the canvas in 5 minutes to get paid 10k for it.
It’s worth pointing out that he was so talented because back then artists were highly valued in society. To the point where some painters were so coveted they were entirely taken care of by the people commissioning them, and those painters would go on to make house of apprentices where people would do nothing but paint all day. Painting was considered as much of a trade as plumbing or architecture. It’s an era lost to time and global capitalism.
Now we glorify capitalists and fuck everyone else
I guess photography was a big reason as well.
Hey if you didn’t know, Picasso is a misogynist rapist
Is it what he became famous and appreciated for?
Tine to cancel him
Give me all his paintings so I can destroy them!
I came in all prepared to give a bit of a mini essay on why Picasso gets less respect than he deserves, and folks beat me to it :)
He’s not even close to my favorite painter, I just tend to get disappointed when people get dismissive of non realism painting of any sort, unless it’s extremely ornate like Geiger.
Thank you, fediverse, for making my expectation of weaksauce takes fail!
Ok, but I ain’t no Rembrandt.
If you want to do something worth doing right, there’s a good chance you’ll make many attempts.
Picasso made literal hundreds of sketches to plan and develop the exact layout and shape of each painting btw
I highly doubt that, the guy was a factory pumping out many thousands of pieces just cashing in

Well, clearly he wasn’t a furry, or he’d be able to draw a better … … arctic fox? Cat? Albino opossum?
Yes, one of each and a ferret
