(Professional critics and super-sophisticated 'art cognoscenti' aside ;-)
Here's a great painting; you can feel the wind and the cold, and identify with the people and their effort.
Which grabs the attention and the heart more?
Picasso is best understood in that he is the father of Cubism.
His paintings look weird b/c he looked at a subject and painted it in three dimensions (cubism) on a flat canvas.
Picasso discarded all attempts at sentimentality and romanticism.
It’s not what’s on the canvas so much as it is ones brain working at Mach One speed to figure it all out.
Not the relaxing feeling of looking at a simple still life......or a lovely girl on a swing as a romantic like Watteau painted.
