Except he would have been using wilder color. I got bored by wild color. I got bored by color entirely for the many years I took to using only ink washes and big brushes that came to points.
My favorite brush cost sixty-five dollars. Every time I tried using a cheaper brush, I could not get the same line shapes with that fat ink dump power.The exhilarating thrill of that quality kept me going for twenty years. But now color is back, and so is hot “brushwork.” Almost fifty thousand of them according to the software’s count.
I’ll be doing something totally else next.
Not sure what you mean about Picasso. Guernica is really powerful. Have you seen it?
I have not seen it, no. I hear it is HUGE.
Now that you have commented, it is too late to edit my post. So I guess we are stuck with my trash talk.
But really. I’m just some guy. I am not famous yet, so I don’t have to follow famous people’s social rules.
Yet.
So fuck Picasso. He was an evil crazy shit bird, and all his art, his whole body of work, is hideously ugly, no matter how “powerful.”
I always feel he was some kind of tainted Kool Aid. His defenders creep me out. But, at this time, I get so few comments on this blog that I don’t want to blow you off, but I do want to be honest.
And yet, and yet?
I post such beauty, yet all you can do is bitch about some stupid crack I made about Picasso?
Dude.
That was rude.
If that’s all you got, then I do not even want to be your friend. Honestly.
The Picasso thing was, “low hanging fruit.” But OK.
I did comment because the art is great. I rarely see anyone using a tablet which such a hand made style. And sorry. I should have opened with that.
Many artists do think that art has nothing to do with beauty, so criticizing something for being “ugly” is, well, illogical. If you are of the mind that art must always be pretty in order to be art, then I too do not want to be your friend.
No, I do not think art must always be beautiful in order to be art. I simply happen to like pretty art, so I do that. I can do ugly art, and I sure have done a lot of that! But such art did not satisfy my own desires.
