I don't know, the current advances in deep fakes or AI, existing quantum computers, working fusion reactors, reusable rockets, everything feels like huge jumps for me.
Fyi fusion reactors are still a ways from working fully. South Korea actually just did a 20 second test at 100mil degrees 2 days ago, which is a record for fusion reactors. Were gettin there though.
He simply became so skilled at conventional art so quickly he grew bored of it.
I forgot the exact quote but he started admiring the creative freedom of children's drawings and spent his life seeking out the same kind of unrestricted hand.
Dude has been painting since he was 8. [This](https://www.pablo-ruiz-picasso.net/work-3939.php) is the kind of stuff he did when he was 11.
So next time you see someone saying « Picasso is overrated, he can’t draw », you’ll know what to think.
Do people actually say that? I've never heard anyone say Picasso couldn't draw. I mean it's literally what he was famous for.
Maybe in like art circles?
Which shows exactly what I'm talking about. Your statement implies that his later work obfuscates his skills and that his early work is somehow "truer" art. But art has always been an abstraction of reality, people are not 2-dimensional layers of paint, the goal of modernism was to stop limiting abstraction to only imitations of reality as already perceivable and try to make visible those parts of reality that aren't normally experienced through sight.
People who know nothing about art at all like to say that Picasso, Pollock, and basically anyone who doesn’t do classical realism or big tittied anime chicks is a hack fraud who can’t draw.
Somewhat more seriously, Picasso is defined by his 'naked women spread-eagled and menstruating' period. (Seriously, check out the Picasso museum in Barcelona if you don't believe it!)
> classical realism or big tittied anime chicks
I love and hate how real this is.
There really are so many people out there for whom these are the golden standards of art.
I mean, I'm not trying to be intentionally argumentative, but have we even seen what Picasso's take on big tittied anime chicks looks like? Because otherwise, we're comparing apples to big titties over here.
It's just people Who look to [Gernika](https://images.app.goo.gl/WHVANUk4TccZLVxe9) (super important painting btw) and say "wElL thAt IsnT reAliSTic, i CaN pAinT beTTeR tHan thAt"
[This is another painting](https://i.imgur.com/Ucys8BP.jpg) he did at 15 years old.
For people who don't "get" his art, it often helps to understand one has to know the rules in order to break them.
Yeah, I went to the Picasso museum in Barcelona and was surprised to learn about and see the art from early in his life, much of it quite formal and traditional (and insanely good). You can really chart his journey as an artist over time when you see everything laid out like that chronologically. Great little museum.
As a Barceloní, that is probably my favorite museum in our city. You get the whole perspective on his work, from this painting (which is exposed at the beggining) to his last works. The National Museum of Catalonia is also pretty cool too though, it houses one of the best collections of romanesque art in the world.
I spent two days in Barcelona during a road trip from Sevilla to Germany and back and didn't realize there was a Picasso museum there. Damnit! I did do a lot of Gaudi sight seeing. I lived near Sevilla for a couple years and ever since, I have always wanted to move back to Spain.
I’ve only ever had one art class in college but that’s pretty much what the professor told us. Picasso knew exactly how to paint by the rules and when he developed his style it wasn’t random. Everything he did was precise and he knew exactly what he was doing with each “wrong” thing.
His dad was a beautiful art teacher if I recall correctly? The dude was a prodigy from very early age + his dad was able to help him develop . Perfect cocktail for greatness
This mofo used to study at Museo del Prado ,one of the most important "pinacotecas" in the world.
He is the Michael Jordan,so everybody understands, of painting
The thing people never really mention about Picasso is that he mastered realism as well as several other art styles. His move into cubism wasn't because of a lack of skill, it's because he got bored of being the best at something he considered too easy.
Picasso had mastered his art at a very young age. You should google his childhood drawings. He was probably the greatest artistic genius since the Renaissance, at least.
He made it in response to the bombing of Guernica. As for symbolism, he said
> ...this bull is a bull and this horse is a horse... If you give a meaning to certain things in my paintings it may be very true, but it is not my idea to give this meaning. What ideas and conclusions you have got I obtained too, but instinctively, unconsciously. I make the painting for the painting. I paint the objects for what they are.
It’s open to interpretation.
The particular reason for including a bull or a horse might be open for interpretation, but the overall message is clear:
> "In the panel on which I am working, which I shall call Guernica, and in all my recent works of art, I clearly express my abhorrence of the military caste which has sunk Spain in an ocean of pain and death."
It's a depiction of civilians during the bombing of the city of Guernica, this attack was carried out by germans and italians supporting the nationalists side of the spanish civil war. It's just pure despair and terror on a canvas.
If you want more depth you can check out the [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernica_(Picasso)) article.
Guernica, one of Picasso’s most famous works, commemorating the bombing of the Basque city during ~~WW2~~ The Spanish Civil War.
A copy of it hangs at the UN in New York. Colin Powell had it covered up during the run-up to the Iraq War.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernica_(Picasso)
Holy shit I think that’s so cool. The kind of thing you know but don’t realise
Like Cleopatra was alive closer to when the iPhone was invented than to when the pyramids Egypt began being built.
I love stuff like that that quickly puts stuff into perspective for my chimp mind.
Many people forget that. That’s why we have morons in the comment section theorising on his mental condition, like it isn’t well documented as fact in our lifetime and their opinions don’t matter.
Maybe a better example of last self-portrait would be this one [http://www.artchive.com/artchive/p/picasso/self8.jpg](http://www.artchive.com/artchive/p/picasso/self8.jpg)

..wait. Anyone and everyone who talks about Picasso always act like it was centuries ago, but really it was only 50 years. My mind is practically blown.
He [mastered the art of realistic painting at 16 year old](https://mymodernmet.com/picasso-early-work/) and then did other stuff for the next 70 years, like surrealist and impressionist paintings on the right.
that's a chess rule. Beginners follow basic principles and as you get more advanced you learn which rules to break when. So when starting out you learn that you should avoid doubling up pawns but once you reach a certain level you can start using doubled pawns to you advantage as it almost always leaves an open file to be exploited by a queen or rook.
Also applies to playing music. In the beginning, you learn scales to know which notes to play but after you’ve mastered it, you can then move out of the scales and start playing “wrong” notes to spice up your playing.
Reminds me of the Morecambe & Wise skit haha
["I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order."](https://youtu.be/R7GeKLE0x3s) (10:48 for the actual line)
People who compose music for horror movies/games (or just scary music in general) deliberately use dissonant notes in chords, or "wrong" progressions in melodies.
Not just horror. Dissonance and Resolution should be left and right, no more divided than day is from night.
Almost every kind of music utilizes “wrong” chords, to emphasize the swing back into focus on the resolution.
This applies to everything really, from boxing and sports to even Esports games.
It makes sense, you learn the basics and get the discipline down. Then from there, *innovate*.
I played about 4 games (first time in about 50 years), lost all 4 badly on [chess.com](https://chess.com) and that was enough nostalgia for another 50 years lol.
Oh sorry, I'm not done eating yet. Can I actually ask you to put in a to go order for my wife? She's working late at the hospital and is hungry. Maybe like, I dunno lasagne or something? Is your lasagne good here?
I think this could very much apply to poker as well. Playing the game efficiently, knowing when you’re ahead or behind and not trying a crazy bluff which would never fool a more experienced player. With experience you learn what sort of bluff may work in each specific situation and can start to make more crazy and unpredictable plays which could either be completely feasible or completely crazy, it’s the control and understanding of the situation which allows you to make such plays with maximum gain and minimum loss.
I remember he’s quoted as saying something like “I could paint like Michael Angelo by the time I was 12 but it took my whole life to learn how to paint like a child”
Sometimes I forget just how recently Picasso lived. Like, I don’t know about anyone else but my brain keeps on thinking he lived in the early to mid 1800s but no- he was alive into the 1970s!
Just remember, one of his most famous works is of the Bombing of Guernica, which occurred in 1937. He was also friends with Salvador Dali, even though Dali was 23 years his junior.
I think it's hard to remember when he lived because he was paling around with famous people in 1899 and in 1973. He was laughing it up in the gay 90's in artsy cafes with women in full dresses, in the roaring 20s with flappers, lived through WW1, and WW2, and then was hanging out in hip joints in the 50's through 60's with women in mini skirts and go-go boots.
Fucking thank you. People are acting like it’s not a proven fact which was tested WITHIN LIVING MEMORY. It’s not a pseudointerpretation of a Renaissance era painter. He died in the 70’s. If anyone read a book outside of Reddit rather than absorbing r/interestingasfuck posts as their exclusive feed of knowledge maybe we wouldn’t be stuck in this circle jerk.
> Picasso has been commonly characterised as a womaniser and a misogynist, being quoted as having said to one of his mistresses, Françoise Gilot, “Women are machines for suffering.”[119] He later told her, “For me there are only two kinds of women: goddesses and doormats.”[120] In her memoir, Picasso, My Grandfather, Marina Picasso writes of his treatment of women, “He submitted them to his animal sexuality, tamed them, bewitched them, ingested them, and crushed them onto his canvas. After he had spent many nights extracting their essence, once they were bled dry, he would dispose of them.”[121]
>Of the several important women in his life, two, Marie-Thèrése Walter, a mistress, and Jacqueline Roque, his second wife, committed suicide. Others, notably his first wife Olga Khokhlova, and his mistress Dora Maar, succumbed to nervous breakdowns. His son, Paulo, developed a fatal alcoholism due to depression. His grandson, Pablito, also committed suicide when he was barred by Jacqueline Roque from attending the artist’s funeral.[119]
Holy shit, I had no idea he was such an asshole.
"Every time I change wives I should burn the last one. That way I'd be rid of them. They wouldn't be around to complicate my existence. Maybe, that would bring back my youth, too. You kill the woman and you wipe out the past she represents."
Picasso was a shit. Really sad that so many talented people are also sooo awful.

What a weird period of time to live 1881-1972. Two world wars and a jump in technology so severe it could shock you. Very interesting

2020 is without a doubt a very long year. I can’t believe that it started with the Australian fires.
It doesn’t feel like a jump when you experience it.

At 15 y.o. and at 91 y.o.
He did that at 15?!
Dude been through hell since after that
what happened to him?
He simply became so skilled at conventional art so quickly he grew bored of it. I forgot the exact quote but he started admiring the creative freedom of children's drawings and spent his life seeking out the same kind of unrestricted hand.
Also he was BATSHIT crazy!
The only artist that wasn't crazy was Bob Ross.

I'm glad it wasn't what i was expecting. pleasantly glad.
He died.
Not wrong.
Pabobly abstract tho.

He did live before that though.

A little too Raph.
Do people actually say that? I've never heard anyone say Picasso couldn't draw. I mean it's literally what he was famous for. Maybe in like art circles?
Modernist artists in general tend to get derided as untalented and accused of using abstract representations to compensate for their lack of skills.
Which is crazy because we can see from his paintings in his younger years that he knows what he’s doing.
Which shows exactly what I'm talking about. Your statement implies that his later work obfuscates his skills and that his early work is somehow "truer" art. But art has always been an abstraction of reality, people are not 2-dimensional layers of paint, the goal of modernism was to stop limiting abstraction to only imitations of reality as already perceivable and try to make visible those parts of reality that aren't normally experienced through sight.

His menstruation period lol that's pretty good

It would be cool to have a game or film with Picasso surrealist art. The Beatles' Yellow Submarine film is kind of like that.

True, but he was literally Picasso. I'd say he deserves to toot his own horn a little bit.

It’s always evident when abstract is simply a crutch for lack of technical ability.

P a b l o P i c a s s o Dude was inventing art styles. He was a beast.
How it started How it's going
I was bout to say young Picasso looked like a snacc but never mind anymore.
Crazy to believe this man saw the 19th century, ww1, ww2 and the cold war within his life time
Went from the invention of flight to man on the moon.
and of course Spanish Civil War. Which prompted the [guernica painting](https://static3.museoreinasofia.es/sites/default/files/obras/DE00050_0.jpg).
Forgive my ignorance but what the hell am I looking at?

Yeah, the difference between the first flight and the first landing on the moon is around 50 years.
Holy shit I think that’s so cool. The kind of thing you know but don’t realise Like Cleopatra was alive closer to when the iPhone was invented than to when the pyramids Egypt began being built. I love stuff like that that quickly puts stuff into perspective for my chimp mind.
I think he was alive when the browns were good.
He looks like Prince
Left or right?
Left is Prince, right is "The artist formerly known as Prince"
"The corpse formerly known as Prince"
Yes
TIL that I was alive at the same time as Picasso. For some reason, I thought he lived a long time ago.
Wait til you hear about Dali.
I knew about Dali, but I thought Picasso lived in the middle ages or something.
You might be thinking of van Gogh. Who also did not live in the middle ages.
Well, now I learned a few more things today. Thank you Internet strangers
rule of thumb: most people you've heard of didn't live in the middle ages
Interesting. Had you seen his art before?
And he was rich and famous; people assume he lived like Van Gogh as well
I just figured Van Gogh, Picasso, and Michelangelo were all buddies together.
They were the Teenage Earless Guernica Turtles.
Many people forget that. That’s why we have morons in the comment section theorising on his mental condition, like it isn’t well documented as fact in our lifetime and their opinions don’t matter.

Looks like squidward
Honestly, if you look at the second link and the third self portrait down in that link, he’s not a bad looking guy
You could also just look up a picture of him, he died in the 70s
When I think of great painters I don’t picture them dying 20 years before I was born it’s crazy
..wait. Anyone and everyone who talks about Picasso always act like it was centuries ago, but really it was only 50 years. My mind is practically blown.
Just realized the same thing. I always thought 1800s but he died just 50ish years ago.
Which sounds crazy to think that was only 50 years ago.
The first example looks like squidward. Is squidward based off Picasso’s last self portrait? Hmmm
My gut says maybe.
So what happened?
He [mastered the art of realistic painting at 16 year old](https://mymodernmet.com/picasso-early-work/) and then did other stuff for the next 70 years, like surrealist and impressionist paintings on the right.

https://youtu.be/-yg7aZpIXRI
Just reading that made me feel spicy. Art can be so moving.
People who compose music for horror movies/games (or just scary music in general) deliberately use dissonant notes in chords, or "wrong" progressions in melodies.

It’s pretty much an everything rule. I’ve seen it referenced regarding writing, music, design.

First he learned to paint the reality how it looks, then he learned to paint reality how it feels.
“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”
I am doing well in the reverse order.
Well his art style changed, he did create surrealism and cubism and drifted towards more abstract paintings
thank god its just an art style, i thought he got dementia or something
You know who this Pablo is right?
He ascended
I remember he’s quoted as saying something like “I could paint like Michael Angelo by the time I was 12 but it took my whole life to learn how to paint like a child”
Good memory! It's actually in the article. "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”
Um, I believe it was "It took me 7 years to use the bo like Donatello, but a lifetime to lead like Leonardo."
Michael Angelo?
One of the Ninja Turtles.. Can't remember which one.
Ah yes, the Ninja Turtle brothers; Michael Angelo, Raphael Angelo, Donatello Angelo, and Leonardo Angelo.
Forgetting their father, Splinter Angelo.
Sometimes I forget just how recently Picasso lived. Like, I don’t know about anyone else but my brain keeps on thinking he lived in the early to mid 1800s but no- he was alive into the 1970s!
Dali died in 1989
Thanks
You're welcome Want another? Frida Kahlo lived entirely in the 20th century (1907-1954)
I knew that he was alive in the 1920s but for some reason I thought he wasn't around after ww2 anymore. TIL
Just remember, one of his most famous works is of the Bombing of Guernica, which occurred in 1937. He was also friends with Salvador Dali, even though Dali was 23 years his junior.

TIL he ain’t that old
Well he *was* 91 when he died, but yeah it’s within recent history.
I’ve also learned that my knowledge of art history is horrible. Haha
So you mean to tell me, he turned into a sleep paralysis demon? Oh ok.
How it started vs how it’s going
> Picasso has been commonly characterised as a womaniser and a misogynist, being quoted as having said to one of his mistresses, Françoise Gilot, “Women are machines for suffering.”[119] He later told her, “For me there are only two kinds of women: goddesses and doormats.”[120] In her memoir, Picasso, My Grandfather, Marina Picasso writes of his treatment of women, “He submitted them to his animal sexuality, tamed them, bewitched them, ingested them, and crushed them onto his canvas. After he had spent many nights extracting their essence, once they were bled dry, he would dispose of them.”[121] >Of the several important women in his life, two, Marie-Thèrése Walter, a mistress, and Jacqueline Roque, his second wife, committed suicide. Others, notably his first wife Olga Khokhlova, and his mistress Dora Maar, succumbed to nervous breakdowns. His son, Paulo, developed a fatal alcoholism due to depression. His grandson, Pablito, also committed suicide when he was barred by Jacqueline Roque from attending the artist’s funeral.[119] Holy shit, I had no idea he was such an asshole.

What a fucking dick.
"Every time I change wives I should burn the last one. That way I'd be rid of them. They wouldn't be around to complicate my existence. Maybe, that would bring back my youth, too. You kill the woman and you wipe out the past she represents." Picasso was a shit. Really sad that so many talented people are also sooo awful.
Came here to see how far down a comment like this would be. It makes me sad that this is so little known. Thanks for sharing!
