Texas King Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Personally I do not. I could never find what is so great and special about his artwork(paintings). I just don't get him. But he is one of the most acclaimed painters of all time. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I like his quotes more than his artwork Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidcrystalcompass Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Not so much the cubism which he's mainly know for. Check out his early work. It's mind blowing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx_rush Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I like a lot of his stuff. I am no art critic, I just like the way his paintings look. My favorite artist is Magritte (not just cause he draws a lot of boobs) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I don't know what the hell I'm looking at or for when it comes to art. So I wouldn't know the difference between his paintings or something the OP did lol. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I haven't studied painters and artists much, but I've never felt Pablo Picasso was bad. From what I've seen by him, I've always gotten a sense of a quirky and humorous kind of character that I enjoyed. I do study architecture though, maybe ask about Borromini or Palladio next time! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 This thread reminds me of the current Music thread where there is a debate around Kurt Cobain. Kurt's genius lies in his inventiveness. Same with Picasso and others like him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 This thread reminds me of the current Music thread where there is a debate around Kurt Cobain. Kurt's genius lies in his inventiveness. Same with Picasso and others like him. Difference. Pablo learned to be technically proficient in the craft first before breaking down the "rules" and doing things seemingly simpler and less technically difficult. Cobain couldn't have played anything more difficult than his own songs if he'd tried. Pablo learned first then ignored the rules and techniques he deemed limiting to his expression. Cobain didn't learn first, he simply focused his musicianship outside the realm of being a skilled guitarist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobain didn't learn first, he simply focused his musicianship outside the realm of being a skilled guitarist.I mostly agree. Cobain was certainly no virtuoso, but hardly unskilled. As far as comparing him to painters go, I'd say that Cobain is more similar to Frida Kahlo than Picasso. Her style is distinctive, but raw and limited in range. This quote from Diego Rivera regarding Frida's art could easily be applied to Cobain's playing: "[Her paintings had]... an unusual energy of expression, precise delineation of character, and true severity ... They had a fundamental plastic honesty, and an artistic personality of their own ." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
