I disagree. Picasso was a sexist user of women, but I think sometimes the distortion in his works showed his love of all the erotic parts of a woman, shown all at once, rather than his dislike of women.
The analysis of his pre-cubist Demoiselles d’Avignon, shown a few posts above, would take too long here. Again, it is rather sexist, but it is also strongly painted and revolutionary in terms of space.
Remember, the camera had been invented in 1839, and from that point on, artists were free to be much more subjective in terms of style because they did not have to be tied to realism any more. Abstraction is a fascinating study, but not one to be done quickly.
Are you familiar with Jones’s thesis? He compiles a chronology of Picasso’s philandering and attaches it to contemporaneous paintings to find the correlation between discarded mistresses and their appearance on canvas.
