If Picasso had stayed with the style he had at age 15 he'd be forgotten today.

Picasso is renown the world over because he pushed art forward, and he kept experimenting and pushing art ever forward in to his old age.

His later work may not be pretty, but there are a billion painters of pretty pictures, but only one Picasso.



The last time he pushed art, someone named Braque was doing the significant pushing with him. That collaboration ended in 1914. He is a great artist but not a genuine lifelong innovator.


Hardly. The style reminds me a lot of Van Gogh and you know who I mean.
