Have you seen his early work when he was a child. What a talent. I can understand not caring about his later work but he was so prolific

Yes, I could see this that makes sense to me and I’ll make a point of looking at his earlier stuff. He kind of got to this point where I found him repulsive. I also don’t care about Mark Chagall at all

What I find fascinating is his diversity of style. Had I not taken some art courses in college, I would have never known this. Most works of artists have all the same style. Once you get familiar with a few of their works, and see a piece that you haven't before, you can call it out. Picasso, on the other hand, went all over the place. Sometimes it's easy to spot a Picasso, other times, you'd never know he created it. The other thing I like is his intelligent humor. After the Nazi's bombed Guernica, Picasso made a painting (the entire width of his basement), inspired by the event. While living in German-controlled Paris, he was approached by a Nazi officer, and asked, "Did you do this?". Picasso replied, "No, you did." In a separate event, Picasso was hired to do a portrait of a patron's wife. Expecting a realism piece, the husband saw the cubist result, and was furious. He told Picasso, "That looks nothing like my wife!", and produced a photo of her to show Picasso, "This is my wife!" Picasso replied, "She looks rather small, and flat. No?"

And I don’t care if you love him or not either I want you to be free. I’m just spitballing conversation out there.

Yeah, not into it now of course if somebody wanted to give me one, I would accept it, but I would never seek it out

OK, I like what you’re saying here you’re changing my mind a little bit and I think that might’ve been needed. I understand what you’re saying about the evolution of his art and basically what it was doing to help the evolution of art itself.

I never thought about his diversity of style changing the world of art. I'm sure it did!

Yep, I’ve been thinking about this for a few days now I’m probably gonna have to watch a documentary or 2 I know I need to watch the one about the Barnes collection. I know he has some of the early and some of the best Picasso pieces that represent his evolution.
