EagleMoon Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I can appreciate his art for what it is, but it doesn't mean I want it on my wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean-tor Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 While his work wouldn't make a shortlist of my personal favourites, his talent and influence are undeniable. The breadth of his expression is really quite remarkable, so even if not particularly drawn to his best-known Cubist pieces, one might be surprised to find his other works engaging. I've always appreciated his daring, and the influence of his inventiveness on other artists. When I first saw his painting titled Embrace in person, I noticed this one big glob of paint from across the gallery room...and proceeded to spend a lot of time with the painting. Although it's not exactly my favourite style, his paint handling in that piece firmly demonstrated for me his place in my lineage as an artist. That aspect of the work doesn't translate so well into a small photograph, but its energy sings in person or in a large, high-resolution image. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been shopping for mirrors lately and could use a good recommendation--is yours anything like this one? Seems like it would fit right into a multifaceted space :Phttp://i.pinimg.com/736x/76/ff/c6/76ffc6b29b58293a9d1ae2e097d5c4b5--diy-mirror-mirror-on-the-wall.jpg As for feeling like Guernica, well it must be the weight of emotion!

Verena Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Picasso has an important work because he learned how to change techniques at a time when very few people used to do it. He had a long life recognition due his great friends and marchands. From each woman he had a new phase on his artwork started and he based himself a lot in each one of them. He has meaningful masterieces, not only in paiting but also engraving and sculptures. Good work! Edited March 25, 2018 by Verena 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
