Seems like once Picasso was done, so was art, and many people don't like him, either.
Goes right along with what
@Smokin Joe posted.
Could be a communist plot.I think Picasso was socialist, but I am sure he liked the money........
My wife was married to an artist before she met me, studied art, and work as an art framer for years, until just a few years ago.
(She would frame or shadow box about anything, a pretty interesting job, actually).
We both had an artistic bent, mine being music, so she was going to introduce me to the world of fine art.
Don't get me wrong, French Impressionist like Renoir, or Monet, I learned to like a lot.
Part of the fun was the history, learning what they painted and
why they painted things a certain way.
Monet used to paint the same thing, but at three different times of the day, capturing the colors and the lighting at morning, mid-day and afternoon.
I was fascinated by those kind of things.
The old Masters, who doesn't love those artist?
However:
When I see most of modern art, I think it is the artist just making fun of the art crowd, seeing how much they can get away with and have all the art snobs still rave about their work.
It got to the point that I asked her,"When does there come a time when I walk into a gallery or a museum and see a blank canvas, and that is the new masterpiece?"
Yes, it has been done.
Rothko came close.....
It may be a communist plot, or it may be just a scam.
Either way, I find no joy or beauty in it, not anything done in the last 100 years or so.
