    I don’t know about “gotta” but often, I agree. Picasso was a piece of shit and a great artist. I think it’s actually counter productive to take the binary good/bad route in cases like his. The guy is famous already, if we were to try and reverse that, we not only remove art from the world in a sense, but we also decrease society’s overall ability to discuss the light and dark side of things.

          Every art historian and critic and fan

          Lol! You mean those people whose entire living depends on pretending the (so-called) “art world” isn’t 90% hype and 10% “Great Man” fallacy?

          I can throw a brick on deviantart.com and hit someone that’s more talented than Picasso was (well, you could before it got swamped with fake AI), but none of them gets hyped up by a scam industry selling feelgood to rich people, do they?

            Your ignorance (and contrarianism) shows.

            If someone can take a look at Picasso’s works and say they suck, their opinion is to be ignored. So thanks for that ❤️

              Since you’re having a hard time dealing with the cognitive dissonance you are suffering from due to your pathologic worship of (supposedly) “great men,” I’ll be reposting the obvious for you.

              Picasso was a piece of shit and a great artist.

              Deal with it.

                  Again. Since you’re having a hard time dealing with the cognitive dissonance you are suffering from due to your pathologic worship of (supposedly) “great men,” I’ll be reposting the obvious for you.

                  Picasso was a piece of shit and a great artist.

                  Again… deal with it.
