Picasso would have been 10 or 11 years old.

Possessive?! As a PLURAL?!

Those are smaller parts of bigger pictures. They make more sense if you get the context of the rest of the picture.

If you zoom in enough on a pointillism piece, it will just be a colored dot. Anybody can make a dot. It takes basically zero skill. But when you look at the dot in the context of everything else, it becomes more clear that it's not just a dot, but a dot in service of a greater vision.

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.

Pablo Pablo Pablo Picasso, artistically gifted but some say he's an asshole

If you want to do something worth doing right, there's a good chance you'll make many attempts.

We're not all Byrons either, apparently.

Hey if you didn’t know, Picasso is a misogynist rapist
