“Activists” brandished signs calling Renoir an “aesthetic terrorist”...

No. Do you know who is a terrible painter? Picasso. He never learned - or couldn't do - perspective, so he invented cubism.

In defense of Picasso, he was well schooled in the fundamentals. He could paint in any style he wanted.

Picasso was pretty amazing, actually. He could paint anything, but chose what he wanted to paint and how.

His chosen style, however, is not for all.

In full disclosure, I own several early Cubist pieces from Picasso that we retrieved from buyers from the Nazis when the laws changed back to what one would expect (a thief cannot grant good title), which have great emotional appeal to me because of family history, so I am very biased.

Agreed.

Warhol was the worst.Soup cans? Really?
