The more I look at Picasso, the more I think he was a highly talented but nasty S.O.B. Those distortions of his mistress turn her into an object to be exploited, which is, I think, how he saw all of his women.

I wonder if you'd like Salvador Dali then. His wife, Gala Dali has been seen as the model in his numerous paitings.

Here she is for instance in his famous painting, GALARINA :



I wonder how much Dali's paintings would sell for if they have been auctioned.

Salvador Dali is one of my favorite artists. I like to view his paintings while wearing my double lens ant filled glasses.

No, I find Dali more amusing than great, but my reaction to that portrait is that he likes her. There’s a lot of brutality in many of Picasso’s portraits. He had a habit of picking up mistresses and dropped them. And it’s not surprising that he sometimes portrays himself as a minotaur or bull.
