Thank you for pointing this out! People consistently ignore things like this.

Picasso’s father was literally an art teacher, and was an incredibly skilled artist his entire life too. Picasso’s “talent” is entirely due to being a spoiled artist’s kid.

His father was a painter who specialised in naturalistic depictions of birds and other game. For most of his life, Ruiz was a professor of art at the School of Crafts and a curator of a local museum.

According to Wikipedia, Picasso’s professional-quality artist training under his father started prior to when he was 9.

So he had been training under his artist father for at least 1-2 years by the time he drew the above. Context matters.

Now we glorify capitalists and fuck everyone else
