Picasso



I keep reading about people arguing if Picasso was a great artist or not…If a painter paints a flower upside down and all others tells him that this is amazing, than, that painter will always paint that flower upside down. Picasso did the opposite. He was always in search for something new, he started with cubism, than abstractionism, surrealism, and his Blue and Rose Periods had a huge influence in modern art. If you all judge a painter if it’s good or not by how well and realistic he draws or paints, than you should check his younger creations…he paint in that manner to. Since the invention of photography, most of the artist found themselves without a job, who wants a painting portrait that might took even a year or two to develop when you could have one by photographing yourself in just few minutes, so the artist had to reinvent themselves by searching something new. Brancusi or Giacometti did the same thing in sculpture, Gaudi or Gropius encourage something new in architecture, and that’s why they deserve to be where they are now in the history of art. I’m not saying that Picasso was a great artist, most certainly not in my top ten list, but the media made him what it is, because they saw in him a future potential of making money…allot of them, that’s why we see now how works by Picasso break world records at Christie’s or Sotheby’s

  1. El mismo Picasso en una entrevista dijo:
    De niño quería pintar como los adultos y ahora que lo soy, pinto como un niño.

    En lo personal, sus obras están sobrevaloradas, pero gran parte de la culpa la tienen los críticos de arte postmodernos y demás medios que nos venden sus obras como si fuesen pintadas por los mismos ángeles.

    Picasso fue un pintor que supo expresar muy bien sus sentimientos en cada uno de sus lienzos, pero no por ello sus piezas deberían de valer tanto.
    Es más bien arte para excéntricos adinerados. Se me hace igual de terrible que las pinturas de Frida Kahlo

  2. People too narrowly focus on his art to understand Picasso. There was great deal of personal events and tragedy, fact that his father was painter curator and early inspiration for Picasso, Spanish culture radiant in influence from many cultures, his perspective, and sheer fact that he was really creating art for expression and meaning and worked with other famous painters of his time to develop the skill. Even at old age, his expression and movement never stopped. I don't agree that media made him. There was not exactly CNN back in the day. When you look at his art, it speaks for itself, depth, and is alive.
