And how old do you think he was when he painted this? Let's see. It was completed in 1897 and Picasso was born in 1881. Wow. Not bad for a teenager, eh? You think any of us could do better after a lifetime? LOLOLOL.
People generally don't like Picasso because they haven't spent time looking at his paintings, really looking at them. His later works aren't immediately accessible eye-candy. They're for an audience that wants something other than what they can see hanging over the bed at a cheap motel, or something deeper than you can get with a camera. He could have painted a thousand paintings like this one, and he chose not to. Someone who could paint like this at age 16 chose not to. You think maybe it's because he knew more about art than you -- or any of us? Or do you still think you're a good enough artist and that you know enough about art to judge Picasso negatively?
