The question remais did he use it because that is what he had or for other reasons.

My nine year old granddaughter brings a lot of her art work home from school that look like Picasso ‘masterpieces’. I hope she outgrows it.

I think Picasso painted the porch of my first house. It was built about in the 1930s. In fact, I think he built the porch itself. It was sort of crooked in that style of his.

Beginning in the 1930’s many artists began experimenting with synthetic paint, including household paint. When Jackson Pollock employed his “drip” technique in the 1950’s he used a mixed media of traditional oil paint, house paint and sometimes an acrylic. Since the 1970’s a number of his most valuable works have required extensive restoration because much of the paints he used deteriorate in a short time.

He was a true jeenyus.

Picasso was a fraud, and he admitted it with great bitterness.

I prefer van Gogh. His work is gorgeous.

Oh, man what a couple o days. First, claims that some longhair named Eddie Van Hellem is the greatest guitarist of all time, then a list of 50 greatest jazz vocals filled with pop songs, now a “I don’t like Picasso” thread. We’ve been holding our collective bad breaths waiting for your opinion of Picasso.

Well some people try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and 
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole

Not bad, but he’s no Bob Ross.
