Be sure to let us know when she outgrows him.
Yes, he did beautiful work when he was young. And then he cynically threw that all away because he realized he could get rich by appealing to the ignorant, the decadent, and the Left.
The Left has especially embraced the art of the twentieth century. They praise newer and ever-uglier forms of “art” and have shoved them down our collective throat telling us that ugly distortions and perversions are good and beauty is for fools and Christians. It’s political. It’s part of their general rejection of the true, the good, and the beautiful, the values that formed our nation. They try to tear down the West and all its glories, and when we protest and say, “This is ugly, this is vile, we want the chance to aspire to what is beautiful,” the Leftist media and academy sneer. This is not a movement in art that any conservative should support.
Thanks for posting the early Picassos.
Having read a number of Picasso bios I’m not a huge fan of much of the art or of the man.
But he knew what he was doing, and he could do it all.
